My photo collection is organized via long & descriptive folder names, but even when I expand the Library module's left panel as wide as it will go, you cannot see the full name. Worse, if you hover over the name in hopes of seeing it via a tooltip, the tooltip is truncated. Here's a screenshot as an example: https://www.screencast.com/t/DZiugeMgcx
Note that this definitely isn't a limitation with tooltips themselves, as you can actually highlight a photo, expand the *right* panel, go to the metadata section, find the "folder" field, and hover that, which will properly show the full path. Screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/htsYoAvQg
Is there a reason why we should be prevented from expanding the left panel far enough to see our full folder names? This makes it pretty much impossible to manage my photo collection from within LR, and I'm always forced to go back to Windows Explorer...
(Note, just to preempt a possible response: I know keywords/collections/etc are an alternative method to organize, which wouldn't require long foldernames. That's beyond the scope of this question. Due to other software I use to navigate my collection remotely, and other non-LR users viewing photos on the same file share, descriptive folder names are necessary).
