I have the same problem with 2011 Pro. I recall that it is a known problem and has not been fixed yet. I believe the work-around is to lengthen the box which to me is a weak solution.

I have the same issue and lengthening the field doesn't work for me. A company name with even 5 characters only diplays the last letter despite having more than enough room - quite frustrating.

It has been over 3 months with no response from Act regarding a fix, not a workaround. The field is incorrectly showing data.
Does Act have a response?

Here is a FREE addon we developed for the text box alignment in ACT!. It forces the text boxes to display the first part of the character rather than the last part when the text string is longer than the width of the text box.
I created this screen shot of the before and after. The text boxes whose data is longer then the text box width do not display the left most characters of the Company or Contact fields. With Left Align for ACT! by Durkin installed you can read any field from the left most position if the text string is longer than the text box without increasing the size of the field.
Its a FREE add-on. Here is the link to the download:

Has ACT fixed this or corrected this in a later service pack or patch?

I installed HF5 and am no longer experiencing this problem.
