Bug Description
When browisng the nautilus in full-screen using list mode (Ctrl+2) a folder containing 1131 files with file names varying to 60-80 characters, the size of "Name"-column changes constantly if the width is not set by hand to a fixed value. Other visible columns are File size, File type and Changed date (default settings).
This bug happens every time when window gets focused, for example when using Alt+Tab to switch to Web browser inbetween. It might be that the adjustment is calculated every time even if nothing has changed in directory.
Bug affects 12.10, in 12.04 works ok.
