Description Ladislav Jozsa 2013-03-21 15:40:27 UTC 
When switched items view to "View items as a list" I'm unable to alter width of any column. Reproducible in Files 3.7.91
Comment 1 Cosimo Cecchi 2013-03-21 16:23:14 UTC 
Works fine here; can you provide some information on your GTK/GNOME version? A screencast could also be useful. Thanks.

Screencast

I'm trying it on Fedora 19 TC1 Live i686, running under KVM.

gtk3-3.7.12-1.fc19.i686
GNOME 3.7.92

Screencast attached.

-> gtk3

Thanks, I can reproduce that now.
It's a GTK3 bug/regression, the testtreecolumnsizing test in GTK exhibits the same bug.
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2013-03-22 13:44:36 UTC 
I'm not convinced there's any bug here, you'll have to describe in more detail what behaviour you expect. If you make the window wide enough that there's actually any excess space available, you _can_ change the column widths, in both nautilus and testtreecolumnsizing.
Comment 5 Cosimo Cecchi 2013-03-22 15:26:32 UTC 
I expect to be able to resize the columns anyway independent of the window size - compare the behavior of testtreecolumnsizing in GTK3 with the one of the same test in GTK2 and you'll see the difference.
Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2013-03-23 17:38:19 UTC 
Yes. I believe this was an intentional change. Talk to Benjamin to confirm.

Use natural size to set adjustment ranges

This is an (unintentional) side effect of my changes to GtkTreeView's get_preferred_size() implementation.  It seems odd to me that GtkTreeView directly determines its own size when inside a GtkScrolledWindow, but since it does, it should be using its natural size, not its minimum size.  Patch attached.
