Bad design for VS2012 and 2013 References dialog boxes

First look at two pictures:

1. The first time you open the Reference dialog (Reference Manager), name is not fully displayed:

(Figure 1)

2. Then double-click or drag splitter to have the name display full:

(Figure 2)

3. The next time you open the Reference dialog, and then back to Figure 1, then you have to double-click or drag splitter ... Every time you open a reference dialog box, you have to toss it.

This reference dialog is a new introduction to Visual Studio 2012, and it comes with this problem. Visual Studio 2013 did not fix the problem either.

Overseas people have found this problem, respectively, on May 6, 2012 and October 4, 2012 feedback to Microsoft, see:

The VS Reference Manager should store its size and the width of the columns (visualstudio.uservoice.com)

Visual Studio Reference Manager Dialogue does not maintain splitter state of name/path columns (connect.microsoft.com)

The hastily launched VS2013 a year later turned a blind eye to the problem.

Compared to Apple OS X Mavericks's improvements in many details, the gap between the two is palpable.
