Description Martin Ejdestig 2007-07-24 22:00:51 UTC 
Ad a mode that makes it possible to have evenly spaced out colomns. Current practice has a tendancy to create much empty spaec to the right if you're unlucky.

Strange layout

To avoid situations like this, maybe a grid layout would be better. Or a way to set label length so they are divided into more lines. Or maybe both.

It would be nice to be able to do something like this:

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are moving bugs to NEEDINFO if they haven't seen activity in more than a year. If this issue is still important to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please reopen it and we will migrate it to gitlab.
Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2018-04-15 00:00:11 UTC 
As announced a while ago, we are migrating to gitlab, and bugs that haven't seen activity in the last year or so will be not be migrated, but closed out in bugzilla.

If this bug is still relevant to you, you can open a new issue describing the symptoms and how to reproduce it with gtk 3.22.x or master in gitlab:
