Can't read filename in tabbed environment of Management Studio

When using the tabbed environment in management studio, it automatically includes the server name and database name before the filename (e.g. ServerName.DatabaseName - Query.sql). When you load stored procedures with long filenames into the tabbed environment, only the last few characters are visible in the tab, and you have to hover over it in order to see which file you are looking at. Does anyone know if you can show just the filename on the tabs, so you actually know which file you have selected?

This is a known issue that was raised throught the Beta/CTP process unfortunately I believe it is a limitation of the Visual Studio Shell.

It has improved but ideally the connection and the filename need to be on different lines.
