It's amazing how badly they've screwed up some of the things in 2012 SSMS. My recommendation would be to first make sure that you've updated to the latest service pack. If you're already there or that doesn't do it, then I'd recommend switching to a lower DPI.

The image you show is 'standard' when you use high DPI settings within Windows 🙁
A Microsoft GUI is typically designed with fixed field lengths that are measured in inches or centimetres, but not in pixels. A fixed length field shows the correct text when it is displayed at the original or smaller DPI, but overflows in the way you have found when the DPI is increased.
One way round this problem that works with certain monitors is to set the monitor and Windows DPI to a lower setting than the monitor's natural DPI setting.
Most monitors will automatically zoom the display to their natural DPI, with the result that everything displayed in your Windows desktop gets zoomed to a larger size. There are some monitors that need a specific setting in the display driver to do the zoom, or will not zoom and just put a black border around your desktop, so this may not work for everybody.
