I've got some mails with pdf as attachment. Standard-Design of TB, standard theme.  Only the first view characters of the attachment is shown in the preview-window of tb, I don't see the full name of the attachment but there would really be enough space.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Recieve an Email with pdf named "20030313 HKC Einkauf mit Trommel mehrfach neu.pdf"
2. Look at the preview-window on tb

Actual Results:  
You don't see the full name, you'll see just "20030313 HK...(223.59 KB)"

Expected Results:  
I'd like to see the full name, or at least the beginning and ending of the filename: "20030313 HKC Einkauf mit Trommel mehrfach neu.pdf" or at least (if ther's not enough space) someting like "20030313 HKC Einka...fach neu.pdf"

No theme.

Your screenshot shows that you're apparently using an extension that displays the size of the attachment.  That's what's causing the problem.  Normally, a long attachment name gets an ellipsis in the middle of the name:
  Blahblahblah...blahblah.pdf

Also, TB supports a tooltip on the name by default, so you can hover and see the entire name -- unless the extension you're using is interfering with that as well.

Please file a bug with the extension author.

You're absolutely right, sorry! It was my fault.
