Annoying VM confirmations in VMware Infrastructure 2.5

If you would like to keep track of all the updates on this website, please subscribe to the Desktop Virtualization RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I really like managing VMware ESX servers through VMware Infrastructure Client (using 2.5 version at the moment), but there's one little thing which really annoys me: most of VM-specific confirmations are asked with dialogue windows which don't mention the name of the VM they apply to.

For example, if I right-click the VM and decide to reset it, instead of getting something like "You're about to reset the HOSTNAME.DOMAINNAME.COM virtual machine. Are you sure?", I only see this:

I wonder if it's really hard to make these dialogs to be VM specific?
