Bug Description

Any moderately long file/folder name gets shortened awkwardly and there is no easy way to view the full name. It is a nuisance especially when there are files/folders with similar names in the same directory. Using multiple rows to show a long name (as seen in nautilus etc.) would be helpful.

As You see in my photo as long as we have an icon view and not the list, we're unable to open the file we want. The question is:why? There is sooo much space!
