I am running 13.10 x86_64 and this bug seems to affect only the Trash Bin, not the regular folder view, as shown in the attached. The Trash Bin window has to be widened until the longest filename in the "Original Location" column (the whole listing, not just what is visible inside the window shown) fits into the frame without truncation -- then the "Name" column is allowed to begin stretching. So for some reason, the "Original Location" column doesn't allow truncation with an ending "..." while the "Name" column does...

It's as if these widths are hard coded. This seems to be a reversion, since the problem has been reported by various people ever since 2007. Now, 6 years later, the bug remains unswatted. This sort of thing is an embarrassment to Ubuntu. Can something be done?
