Question

enter image description here

In Finder (Sierra) if you select "All Tags..." in the Finder sidebar, it presents a list of tags. These tags, if they are above a certain length are truncated. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Solution 2

It seemed this wasn't possible to fix in MacOS Sierra. 'High Sierra', released 26 September 2017, reveals complete tag names as you expand the column as opposed to truncating them.

OTHER TIPS

If I understood your question correctly, you need to increase the width of the column. You can increase the width of the column by dragging the on the right border of the column:
