That is the standard calibre cover flow, find the three icons on the bottom right next to Jobs and click the center icon to toggle the cover flow on or off. (see attached for my configuration)

You say your file names are in the format title - author.docx and you have things set correctly the title will not be exactly as the filename.

I doubt that they were set as you have stated, see attached. The check box in the blue area has to be unchecked. If you look in the red area you will see that I tested a book called
test title - test author.docx and the proper title and author are parsed as expected.

I don't know what step you missed (or I forgot to document) but it should import the Title to the title field and the author to the author field.
Do you have the brackets {} around the actual names in the file name? Give me an exact file name as an example.
