How to increase the first column width in "Data Window"?

The Data Window has two columns - the first that shows name of price field, volume, indicator etc., and the second column shows the numerical value of those. The width of the first column seems to be fixed at about 12 characters, followed by a hyphen, and any long names get truncated. I want to see the entire name, and increasing the width of the data window does not help. The data window properties also does not have any options to increase the column width. Anyone know how to widen the column?

Unfortunately that first column is hard-coded in its width.

Justin, thanks for the reply. Seems to me this is an problem that deserves to be fixed in the next update of MS. No point in having a resizable data window if the column width is fixed, especially if the usability of the window is severely limited by that fixed width. Many of the indicators have long descriptive names, and related groups of indicators begin with the same characters, which after truncation appear the same in the data window.. for example, MS11 - Adaptive Linear Regression Indicator and MS11 - Adaptive Linear Regression Slope.
