Match columns window does not show the full/complete parameter names to be matched

Dear Supporter, 

The match column window does not show the full/complete parameter names to be matched. It's possible to
hover over them but this is annoying for 100s of parameters which have similar names and only differs
in the last (nonvisible) characters. 

Please refer to the attached screenshot. The problem -when having a long columns names- is related to any matching columns dialog either when inserting columns/rows or replacing data.

The window can be enlarged but the area of the parameter names cannot be resized. 
Once a match is done for these parameters resizing is possible in the bottom area where matched parameters
are shown. 

Please make the upper two areas resizable, too.

    Hi Thomas,

    I have tried this against 10.10.0.64. And it seems there is no way yet to resize to display long column names completely in the Match Column window.

    Keep using hover over parameter is very annoying for hundreds of parameters.

    Hi Thomas,

     

    We're not using 10.x yet and we're stable on Spotfire 7.11 it's most needed in the current 7.11 version of Spotfire for now.
