Open core/products.php and insert the line below into List products function. This is the only solution I found. Certainly you can change the name's lenght.

better solution is change
$aData['sName'] = checkLengthOfTxt( $aData['sName'] );

in libraries/Trash.php there is on top of file:
define( 'MAX_STR_LEN', 80 );

change to length You want

No, Treewood, I think he wanted long names but not in list, there they should be shortened like baron_jon said. Very nice.

Then:

$aData['sName'] = strlen( $aData['sName'] ) > 80 ? checkLengthOfTxt( $aData['sName'] ) : $aData['sName'];

substr is not good function for this because it cuts text and dont care it is half or 1/10 of word ...

I wanted exactly what I wrote in the second post. To cut all characters after certain amount of symbols and insert "..." at the end. In product list only.
