The File Layout Column Width keeps shrinking randomly, in V16 some new version I was forced to delete all my custom File Layout Column templates and resort to using the Default only, but even the Default is resizing unexpectedly when navigating between tabs and moreso when re-launching MC.. I thought this would go away in v16 but it's not ! I need a fixed perm File Column Header Layout as defined by my Template (set to C:\ D:\ F:\ G:\ H:\ plus "Valid for subpaths".) I cannot create a new Template because there's a bug where the selected Sorting Column is not preserved/ remembered. So I had to delete my custom template & use Default Template so it remembers which column to Sort by. I reported it previously here: https://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,5107.0.html Wish this could be fixed once & for all !  :(
P.S: To Reproduce, switch Tabs and restart MC, when re-launched the File Column Header Width should be shrunk ! (but it's not certain, it's a bit random I don't know)

(Wow block of text.  Please try to use return key to space out text to make it more readable.)

Since I have not been able to reproduce it, It is not fixed. I can't fix things I can't recreate.

I doubt it's worth fixing this in v16 unless it's a straightforward fix.
The file view UI component has been completely rewritten for v17, so the issue may already be resolved.
However, since the new component was modeled after the old architecture, the bug might still persist. If that's the case, then I will address it there, provided I can replicate the error.
