Was playing with settings as in bug 2735; and now I can't restore columns back to my original widths in Standard view.  There now seems to be a minimum width for date, size, etc and can't restore these without triggering horizontal scrolling which I don't want.
Backed up clawsrc, closed CM, restored clawsrc from backup, restarted CM; but this did not restore my original widths, so now I have columns with lots of whitespace wasting screen real-estate...

Interesting...  added an extra column at right, now I can change column widths to desired size using the right side of columns, whereas it's not possible otherwise.

Ah-ha!  There are left & right resize handles; but they 'seem' to be about 1-pixel wide and 1-pixel apart, aka VERY difficult to grab the correct one.

A right-click menu with "Column Width..." (other options?) a la oocalc would be appreciated.
