More Autosize Columns fun...

Given

Code: Select all

v13.80.0103 - 2014-03-05 13:33
    * Configuration | Styles: Added "Autosize columns maximum width (0 = 
      unlimited)". Here you can set the maximum width for autosized columns in 
      pixels. Valid inputs are "0" ("unlimited") up to "9999".
      Note that the default setting "0" ("unlimited") will be actually limited 
      to 600 pixels internally.
      Note that there is an internal "minimum maximum width" of 100 pixels. So 
      when you enter a value of 50 it will be internally set to 100.
      FYI, this is tweak AutosizeColumnsMaxWidth raised to config level.

and Autosize Columns enabled, why do the following 2 scenarios happen?

1. When going from an empty folder to an non-empty folder and back through history causes the width of columns to be what they are in that non-empty location you just came from (even when column layout list settings per tab are not set to be remembered).

2. When deleting the last item from a folder, the width of all columns as they were when that item was there are retained instead of snapping to internal minimum max width of 100 pixels.

I might be seeing things differently, but neither of those behaviours seems quite right to me...

Cannot see the slighest problem here. It would be totally irritating if columns snapped to minimal width on empty folders.

If columns are set to auto-size then that's what they should do in any given scenario. You gotta look at it from the angle of a feature not doing what it is supposed to on the face of it. This is similar to how that setting max column width to "0" (aka unlimited) still causes it to be internally limited to 600 pixels.
