[Bug 1243806] Re: The names column has its width dictated by other columns

 

Auto column size in general. Which cannot even be turned off (of course,
any feature that cannot be turned off already is a potential bug, this
just illustrates the principle).

Columns are often bigger than needed, and it looks like they are
resizeable, yet if you move separator between column headerss #2 and #3
to the right(!), #3 stays the same, #2 expands and #1 (Name) shrinks.
How it's not a bug?

Bug description:
  Folder names in Location area keeps the width even though when I go back to upper folder.
  First of all this new downgraded nautilus folder section holds its width and I cannot even change the width at all.
  Then when I go deep down lower folders or open folder with long name, it would squeeze down the "Name" part and I cannot even see names anymore. Then when I go up to upper folder or root, I cannot see the names anymore becaue location column takes up all the space. Once I click one of the unseen folder, I may see the names again. 
  This is one of too many problems of 13.10.
