Interesting... It works that way on my computer too.  If I hover the
curser over the tab, the fully qualified account name appears, but that
is not exactly as described in help. 

Another trick that I am using is to color Asset account tabs one color
and Liability account tabs another, but that is not easy to set up either.

Perhaps others can comment whether this should be reported in Bugzilla.
