I just ran into this bug. Long field names cause the table to break, there is no workaround that I was able to find.

In my opinion this is somewhat serious as these long fieldnames commonly exist in for example Winlogbeat data. I'm guessing that a lot of people run into this but have trouble finding and +1ing this issue

@LucaWintergerst One possible work-around that might be acceptable to some users is to set shortDots:enable in the Kibana advanced settings. That would truncate all the leading.parts.fieldName to l.p.fieldName
