Small screen shot example

Eclipse does not display the full file name in the recent history list.  This is more of an issue when there are multiple files with very similar file names and only the end of the file name is different.

I've included a screen shot so you can see what I'm talking about.  It is impossible to select the right file under this circumstance as there is no title hint displayed when rolling the mouse over the file name.

This is File > Open Fileā€¦.  It would be useful to at least assign the tooltip text.
