problems with "This PC" view

[JDługosz]

The overview of all the drives (that have letters) has been giving me problems. First it displayed far too many "up" and I could not figure out how to change it. After cycling through different "views", it came back with only 4 columns which is much better, but still not fitting right.

Notice that the "Free Space:" is truncated. Yet, there is unused space on the window.
This should lay out as many as fit, without having to truncate any text.

I also note that it shows column headers above this view, that have nothing to do with the contents of the pane.

Whether the column headers are shown in non-details views or not depends on this option: Configuration | Sort and Rename | Sort | Show sort headers in all views

They can be useful in for quickly adjusting the sort order - especially when you want to use secondary sorting.

As for the tile widths, this is driven by the size of the Name column. If you make that column wider the tiles will adjust in width.

However, it might be that the calculation of the Name column's width when auto-sizing needs some tweaking to avoid truncating in Drives mode.

I never would have guessed!

Seems to work alright. I don't get any truncating here.

The drive name itself is not truncated but the sizes are.

From a fresh v15.80.0108, after double-clicking the right-edge of the Name column to auto-size:

EDIT: The same width is calculated when using #372 View | Columns | Autosize Columns Now (Ctrl+Numpad Add).
However, double-clicking the line number column header does better:

Yep, got it, thanks!
