4 years ago I believe this is functioning as intended. I've attached a screenshot to ensure we are talking about the same thing. Personally, I prefer the style used in my screenshot to shorten the names. The longer text is pulled from the middle so you can still identify the head/tail of it, and it is constrained so as to not take over your entire tab bar.
Is there a specific fix, or solution you are looking for? I wonder if it would be possible to add an option under preferences related to name shortening. In some other programs, I have seen options such as..
- Toggle shortening for names in tabs
- To specify a number of characters for when the shortening to occur.

As you can see the scroll is already at the left most side. There is no way to see the whole filename on the left pane, no matter if I change the column width or try to scroll sideways.
GTK2
gtk2's pane content is fine. The title just runs off the pane, I'm fine with that.
I switched back to gtk2, but I thought I'd mention that while I was using gtk3 1.0.5-2 on Lubuntu 18.04 fresh install, I noticed that if the directory name was very long, the tab would not shorten it and you end up with a very wide tab that partially hides the filenames.
e,g If you plug in a usb stick, you can get a very long directory name like ; /media/username/f0d0f551-b84f-4832-9404-98bee29aeade
This would widen the contents below making it unreadable. In gtk2, the name runs off the tab to the right but at least the contents are normal.
