The filenames of a folder that another user shared with me appear truncated.
When I go to a folder that some one shares with me it gives me a list where the file names are cut off. I end up having to either download the whole thing or look through files one by one to tell if it's a certain file extension or another.
There is enough room on the page where the full file name should be able to display or I should be able to resize the columns to show the file name.
It seems unnecessarily formatted in a way that causes me regular confusion and frustration.
I found the issue. In the page styles, the table layout is set to "fixed." If I disable that, it looks normal. Perhaps the developers can remove that or override it for Windows 10.

I should have mentioned, I tried incognito and Firefox (I'm using Chrome on Windows 10). Just tried Edge as well. They all look the same.
I don't remember if I could see them before, it just happens to be a link I'm working with today and was annoyed that I couldn't find a way to read the whole title.
I probably normally work more with shared folders instead of links, in which they show up differently. However, I often send links myself so now I'm concerned this is also what my users are seeing which makes it very difficult to use.I was on a desktop. My issue seemed to be with the windows system having to be scaled to look at any text at a reasonable size. It it seemed like windows recommended it be 150% which I don't fully understand. I'm normally a mac user and everything is fine there.
I tried changing the scaling to 100% and it didn't change anything. Also tried a different resolution and that didn't fix it either. I'll try a couple of different computers and see if there's any difference.
I tried my husband's computer and it shows correctly - display is 1920 x 1080 at 125% / Windows 11
I tried another laptop with a 4k display set to 250% (recommended) and it shows truncated. The others (laptop and 27" monitor) I've already tested are also 4k set to their recommended scaling (250% and 150%, respectively). These are using Windows 10.
I tried setting to 1920 x 1200 at 100% and rebooting and that didn't help.I found the issue. In the page styles, the table layout is set to "fixed." If I disable that, it looks normal. Perhaps the developers can remove that or override it for Windows 10.
