Expand feature class names when resizing symbology pane

This is not so much a problem when setting symbol layer drawing on individual layers, but when trying to use symbol layer drawing on groups, a new nightmare is introduced: your feature class names are preceded by the layer name. When you try to resize the pane in hopes of viewing the full feature class name, nothing happens, they're still truncated. I can't tell these apart at all.

Does Esri beta test their products at all? Is there any chance we can get pane contents that respond to being resized, like every other application on the planet? The amount of requests that users must do for ArcGIS products to have basic functionality is approaching insanity. Thank you.

This is a bug with this pane, thank you for bringing it to our attention.

On the subject of beta testing, yes - there's a beta for every release. For testing opportunities with Esri products see https://www.esri.com/en-us/user-research-testing/early-adopter
