Description Timo Lindfors 2007-12-29 14:31:59 UTC
It should be possible to adjust the width of the "Description" column to be so small that the text in the "Transfer" column would be completely visible.

Other information:

demonstrates a situation where the bug occurs. You can see that the text in "Transfer" column is not completely visible since it's too narrow. I tried to fix this by dragging the vertical line between "Description" and "Transfer" using mouse. The result was that "Transfer" text moved while dragging but immediately moved back to its original position when I released mouse button.

After trying various tricks I noticed that I can infact resize the "Description" column if I do the following:

1) First drag the line between "Transfer" and "R" columns to right so that all text in "Transfer" column is visible
2) Then drag the line between "Description" and "Transfer" to left.

Now all text in all columns is visible. However, these two steps were not very intuitive and a user would expect to be able to resize a column by dragging only one line.
