Description:
SQL Editor's Overview window only shows the first 17 characters of the tables' names. This may be space saving, but is confusing, if you have tables not differing in the leading 17 characters of their names. The full names are shown in the tooltip, but searching for a table is very slow that way.

How to repeat:
Create lots of tables with long names like lookup_zielvereinbarungen_<year> or so. Open Overview window of SQL Editor.

Suggested fix:
Make column width adjustable and/or auto-adjust to the longest name in the column (like "ls" or "dir /w" on the command line).

Thank you for the feature request.

The overview panel was deprecated, and eventually replaced with the new Workbench layout.
