Something like this:

Answer 1

Ok, reading the TreeColumn code I have noticed that the TreeViewer add ellipsis (...) to the columns automatically, but only if the column index is > 0. So column 0 strings are not truncated.

Try all eclipse views that uses a TreeView.

Really I don't understand this behavior.

Yes, you can use DecoratingLabelProvider over the LabelProvider which shows full paths (which is presumably what you have at the moment).
