Description Pedro Villavicencio 2011-11-16 14:47:37 UTC 
this report has been filed here:

"right-click > Properties

In previous versions, the "Name:", "Location:", etc. fields would expand to fit the window width.

Now, they are always truncated to about 50% of the dialog's default width. See attached screen-shot.

This is an usability problem and makes the Search (Ctrl-F) feature almost useless - I cannot track down the file's location.

Either having the ability to see the full Location in the dialog or the search results having an "open containing folder" context-menu option would resolve this issue."
