Bug Description

If a folder has a lot of files and the last one of them has a long name, every time you point the mouse over some file you won't be able to see the (full) name of the last file. Moving the mouse to the right or to the left over to change the position of the yellow tooltip doesn't helps, because it will still hide part of the name. This way, it is very difficult e.g. to rename the last file because we can't see what we are doing. See the attached screenshot for an example.

Please improve the usability of nautilus by fixing this issue.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, nautilus 1:3.2.1-0ubuntu4.1.
