Ubuntu Harty, Glom 1.6.14 -Layouts with 3 or more columns will not align correctly

[Jacob]

Binary package hint: glom

When creating a layout with more than 3 columns, the third or 4th, etc columns, will not align correctly, the third column will be 3 inches away from the 2nd column.

For example if you create a new database with 12 number fields in a table.
Then under the details tab, layout you add all fields and set the columns to 3.
The first 2 columns of will be aligned correctly and the 3 column will be about 3 inches away from the 2nd column.

If you organize them into three group you can get in to display correctly however, if you try the same thing with 4 columns it will not work.

Also you cannot have a & in the title of the database, if you do the tile will be. Database name example D&D result: <b>D&D</b>

 * glom/utility_widgets/flowtable.cc: on_size_allocate(): Change an
 accidental += to the = that it should be, to stop columns getting
 increasingly large amounts of extra width when there are >2 columns.
 Bug #539369 (maximiliano)

That's mentioned in the GNOME bugtracker, but launchpad tells me "Launchpad couldn't connect to GNOME Bug Tracker", I guess launchpad should cache,

Also I just tried using an & in a database title and saw no such problem with the latest version. If it is still a problem, please file a bug for it, ideally with a screenshot.
