screenshot

Screenshot attached. Particularly long filenames can push the f{} and following buttons off the screen. They also prevent resizing the left editor in the case where I have two editors open at once: I want to make the left editor smaller so that I can fit 80 columns in the right editor, but to do so I have to open a file with a shorter name in the left editor.
Comment 1 Christian Hergert 2015-06-10 18:42:43 UTC 
Makes sense.

Should we set the ellipsis to the middle or start?
Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2015-06-10 19:43:27 UTC 
Guess: the start. If you ellipsize the middle of the filename on the left in the attached screenshot, you'd cut off the first part of the base name of the file.

screenshot

So the screenshot above was taken with a build of Builder from a couple of weeks ago. I built master again yesterday and now I'm seeing this. There is no horizontal scrolling; the left portion of the file is just cut off. Unlike the problem in comment #0, this time I can fix it by resizing the middle pane.
