I was hoping this might get fixed in CC, but it didn't:
Using pantone swatches in list view is much worse than in CS5. there is a lot of wasted space to the left of the colors, and the names cut off way too early.
This is one of those features that was not ported well to the new interface, and I would really like to see it go back to how it was in CS5, where it was possible to read all the names of all the colors.
I don't understand how anyone working in QA could look at this panel and be ok with it, but it's been pretty much useless for over a year now.
