I regret to say that the patch solves the problem only in part. Now there is a lower bound for column width that lets a scrollbar appear but when managing long filename the problem is still there: no way to read the whole filename. The status bar still not help because it put ellipsis in the middle of filename. The ONLY solution here is the one that let the filname column to expand as wide as I need it, allowing scrollbar to appear. The same should be told for foldername column.
In the attached image I try to expand the Filename (Nome in italian) column but the sum of all columns width is limited to the available space.

Title:
  The names column has its width dictated by other columns

Status in Nautilus:
  Fix Released
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “nautilus” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * Impact
  In some cases the names column is reduced to "..." and names can't be read

  * Test case
  open the trash: location in list view (with some deleted files), look at the filemanes column (reduce the window if needed)

  * Regression potential
  check that the columns content is readable

  
  --------

  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.
