(info "(emacs) List Buffers") and list-buffers's docsrting should
mention:

If you often have longer buffer names truncated [so much so that they
even become identical], be sure to set a higher value for
Buffer-menu-name-width.

Thanks.

(As list-buffers was written for 80 character wide screens, and does not
consult window-body-width.)
