Description:
Table name gets truncated after certain amount of characters
http://prntscr.com/59y55i

How to repeat:
1. Create a longer table name
2. Check the catalog tree

Suggested fix:
Make the catalog tree truncate table names based on it's width instead of making a hard character limit. 

or

Allow a horizontal scroll bar if the table-names are large

Please print here the table name is truncated for you. Thanks.

Sorry i don't understand. The table name display truncates, not physically. The thing is that it really gets to be annoying since MySQL supports names of 64 character length, and workbench displays up to 20.

You can hover over them, but it's not efficient at all

Thank you for the feedback. I was looking on SQL Editor not in Modeling. Thanks.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 6.3.5 release, and here's the changelog entry:

The Catalog Tree would truncate table names at around 20 characters.

Thank you for the bug report.
