Comment(by bert):

 When downloading a file in Browse, it is given an overly long unhelpful
 title, e.g.:
 {{{
 File Sun%20Earth%20Moon.001.pr from
 http://www.squeakland.org/content/articles/attach/Sun%20Earth%20Moon.001.pr.
 }}}
 which is actually displayed as
 {{{
 File Sun%20Earth%20Moon.001.pr from http://www.sq...
 }}}
 Only the first few words are visible in the Journal list view, and even
 the detailed view does not show the whole title because it is still too
 long to fit one line.

 IMHO the title of that Journal entry should be just
 {{{
 Sun Earth Moon.001.pr
 }}}
 (which means it's unescaped, i.e. the %xy sequences replaced by actual
 characters) and the URL should be put in the description field (which is
 unused currently):
 {{{
 Downloaded from
 http://www.squeakland.org/content/articles/attach/Sun%20Earth%20Moon.001.pr
 }}}
 And no, this is not fixed in 8.2-762.
