 truncate-lines is T and truncate-partial-width-windows is T, the
 defaults values, I think.  Do a C-x b TAB to try to complete on a
 buffer name.  If the number of buffers is very large and the windows
 are narrow, many of the buffer names are not visible because the lines
 have been truncated. 
Note that this particularly ugly when using dialog boxes (which uses
completion buffers in partial width windows.

 There's no way, using the keyboard, to see names
