Bug Description

To reproduce in pcmanfm on lubuntu open /usr/share/include/lxappearance or another similally long file.

(pcmanfm package v. 1.2.5-3ubuntu1 /artful)
Expected: all fields are readable.
The problem: the window is too narrow to display a path not in the shortest branches of /bin/, /lib/, etc. and is neither auto-resizing nor resizeable. While "Location" field can be seen in columns, it's also impossible to read "Target File" field for symlinks.

Also, is there any practical reason at all to fix its size?

Changed in pcmanfm (Ubuntu):
status: New → Confirmed
summary: - File Properties window size
+ File Properties window size truncates longer paths

Actually it is still observable. Just mouseover the field and you will see it in the tooltip.
You are able to copy-paste the location or link target as well (just select it, no ... will be in the clipboard but full path instead).
Also full path to the file is available via right-click menu.

I hope that helps.
