Long Method Names in Dev Workbench Break Page

Checked out objects overlap with right side panel and 4th column is almost completely off screen and screen is not horizontally scrollable

Suggestion: show only so many characters, then have ... to show it is not the full name. The full name could be given elsewhere, on hover?

NOTE: it seems like the best would be to make it show only a portion of the beginning characters, but because of the way our methods work, developers need to put categories in the method names, meaning the end of the text is the useful part

For example, these are some possible method names:
EASYPayPaymentPadCreateOtherPaymentTransactionHeader
EASYPayPaymentPadGetCreateOpenInvoicePaymentId

17 characters are spent on just the categories of the method, so if we only show 20 characters, they become:
EASYPayPaymentPadCre
EASYPayPaymentPadGet
which makes the names not useful
Jeff suggested showing only the end of the method name, but that might not be the most intuitive as to why its doing that

(I have a forum post open for the categories feature: viewtopic.php?p=783&hilit=categories#p783)

Bug 1: See in the screenshot, there are 4 columns of sources in the workbench, but the 4th is pushed off the screen and not clickable because its under the buttons
