Bug #51119	Host names not fully displayed on WB Connections

Description:
Host names are not always fully displayed under Workbench > Administration > Connections. Appears that either a dash "-" or possible a "-F" in the host name causes the name to be displayed as "COMPNAME-  .        .   ." and it looks like something else is below, but not visible the "COMPNAME".

How to repeat:
Connect to a server that has connections with "-" or "-F" pattern in the name.

Suggested fix:
Most likely a text display error or some weird escape type sequence.

Updated version to include Build #.

Do you have same problem in the Account tab?

Update on the issue: It appears to be a rendering bug with the FQDN and the default column width.  For example, "ABCDEFG-F00.asdfghjkl.abcdef.com" seems to wrap at the -F when the column isn't wide enough.  And in response to Susan's question, it happens on the User Accounts screen as well.

Thank you for the feedback.

Verified as described. Can only be considered as a bug, because is not clear if one has to make column wider if word before dash is small and rows below large enough, so user can guess part- is full name of host.

Workaround: wide host field by hand.

fix confirmed in repository

An entry has been added to the 5.2.22 changelog:

In the Connections tab of the Administrator facility, hostnames were sometimes not displayed correctly. This happened if the hostname contained a '-' character.
