Show full column name in auto suggest dropdown

Long column names are not showing fully in the autosuggest dropdown. It adds an ellipsis to the column name and the bigger problem is that I can't even expand the width of the column manually. There's no resize handle between the column name and the next column which shows the column type.
The column name column should automatically resize to the largest column name.

We're sorry for the delayed reply.
There are columns with names longer than the default suggestion list display size. In this case, the identifier will only be displayed partially, with an ellipsis added at the end of its name.
To change the suggestion list display size, you would need to:
• Expand the main suggestion window
• Hover over the column with an ellipsis. A vertical divider will appear at the right side.
• Move the divider to the desired position.
Please keep in mind that the suggestion list size divider will retain the new position until you change it again. So, the suggestion list display boundaries can be defined by the user.

It doesn't remember the new width between SSMS restarts. I am using version 6.0.101.

That's an upgrade I have to pay for. Also, the renew subscription option goes to to the Buy page for $199. Where's the upgrade option?
