hi Christian,
ok, understood, that's exactly what I was expecting looking at it. So it might only be a bug then.
Compare the attached screenshot in mode A with the previous in mode B. In fact the problem I describe is in mode A: the column have the
same size but there is a lot of wasted space. What about providing 120px large columns like in Windows. Maybe we should ask the a11y team
but I suppose there was a lot of tests on this specific width (I suppose the icon set has the same size, maybe it's not the case): I never saw
a developer or user in ten years modifying this size. I only discovered last week it could be modified :p
Note I'm not talking about making that a property but a a hard-coded, sane value. Does that makes sense? 
 best regards,
--Stéphane
