Lightroom CC 2015.8 or finder cuts off my catalog name

Since I have the newest version of Lightroom CC (2015.8) every time I create a new catalog (I make a new catalog for every event), Lightroom of finder cuts parts of my catalog name.

For example:

If the name should be "2017.01.10. event", Lightroom or finder shortens this to "2017.01.10".

If the name should be "2017.01.10 event", Lightroom or finder shortens this to "2017.01"

If the name should be "2017.01.10. event.", Lightroom or finder keeps this name.

So it seems, that Lightroom or finder cuts everything off, which is after the last "."

My OS is macOS Sierra (10.12.2) and I'm using a Mid 2015 Macbook Pro (15.4 inch).

Is anybody experiencing the same problem or knows how I can fix this or is it just a bug?

Hello. I wouldn't ask if it never worked. But actually it worked and avoiding periods is no solution because my projects are organized like this.

So, if this means you'd like to leave the projects in files with periods in the name, then you have to accept that fact that operating systems and software (like Lightroom) sometimes have problems with file names that have periods in them. It's your choice.
