Screenshot to follow... I was really confused by this - the tabs showed that I had revisions 1.1 and 1.4 of TableViewer open, but it couldn't be that I was looking at revisions that early. It turned out that the revisions were 1.13 and 1.42, but were truncated as 1.1 and 1.4. Without an ellipsis showing truncation, important information is lost. Not sure if this is desirable, but we could put the revision number at the beginning rather than the end to avoid it being truncated in this way.

I can see three options: 1. As you said, we change our labels to put the most discriminating information at the front. Probably a good idea anyway, since even if you were to use ellipses you 'd still not be able to tell the two apart from your example (but you wouldn't have misinterpreted them). 2. Find some other indicator to show that there was more text that you didn't get to see. We did look at this but couldn't come up with anything that looked ok so not hopeful. 3. Have a rule that says, "If the number of characters truncated is less than X then show ellipses". The idea being that truncation at the point where the string is almost complete is actually more confusing. I don't really like this one though and it'd look wierd to have some with ellipses and some without.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
