Something funny happens here, then. It *seems* that if I have a deep  
enough directory structure open up in my drawer -- and have the  
drawer wide enough to see the full name of a file buried somewhere  
(maybe +7 folders deep) -- something might be getting 'stuck' and  
setting the width of the pane to be quite wide. I can then narrow the  
drawer to be very thin and no file names get truncated anymore, but  
the horizontal scrolling ability allows me to scroll left/right and  
look at the particular part (column) of the project drawer I please  
with out it mangling the names.

I was going to post some pictures, but I guess that'd be a little  
silly .. I guess it's just a fluke anyhow.
