cannot resize download window, unless showing details.

http://bugs.debian.org/186867 : I'm unable to resize the download manager window. If the filenames are more than 9 characters long with my font, this causes the window to display scrollbars and force me to scroll left and right to see the size and remaining fields. The window also only really has space for one or two downloads at once before displaying a vertical scroll bar. It should be default be larger, and should let me resize it. Ideally, it should resize itself to avoid horizontal scrolling, and/or use some sort of [...] based truncation of the filenames if they're unusually long. If I click on the details option, it lets me resize the window.
I concur. It is very annoying, and not fixed as of 1.3.5.
This is basically the same problem as bug 75479 (the width is reset because you can't resize the window). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 75479 ***
