Seems something changed with the last update because I find that some layer names and GTV names are truncated. I have widened out the display area so there seems to be enough real estate to show the longer names but there must be a setting I am not remembering to allow the letters to all show (see below).

Do you have Classic Labels checked on the Menus tab of the Preferences dialog?

I have the same issue and after checking the Preferences/Menus, Classic Labels is unticked and Classic Buttons is ticked;

Both Classic Labels and Classic Buttons were unchecked as defaults in my computer. I checked Classic Labels and the truncated letters noted previously did not change. I unchecked Classic Labels and checked Classic Buttons and that then showed the full length of text in the layer names or GTV views. I will keep that checked, for now, so that I can see all of the characters in label and GTV names until the next update.
