Comment 5 for bug 1645862

I applied this to a test server and I can see and edit the new settings in the Library Settings Editor. However, they don't have descriptions and it's unclear what type of value should be entered. I tried various things (200, 200px, 200em...) and they all break the interface and don't show any columns at all. They give the "TypeError: conf.columns is undefined" message in the browser console. (I did log out and log back in after each change to make sure that wasn't the issue.)

Since I cannot see this working, I can't be sure, but it doesn't appear that this approach actually solves the problem. It appears as if this patch changes the default width of *all* of the columns in the selected grid, which is not what is being asked for. The desired behavior is to be able to set a default width for particular types of columns regardless of their grid. For example, I would like to be able to set all item barcode columns to a default width of 14 characters regardless of what grid they are displayed in.
