columns are not resizeable

[Rolf Leggewie]

On trusty with version 3.8.2-1ubuntu1, I cannot resize the columns "Folder", "Usage", "Size" and "Contents". If there are long folder names, you will not be able to see any of the other information without scrolling vertically. FWIW, the pointer DOES change into resize arrows but even if you click and drag to resize the columns, nothing will happen.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This problem seems to be happening in many applications. See:

Strongly suggests its a GTK3 bug.

i found a workaround (disclaimer .. i am a noob)
Install dconf-tools (sudo apt-get install dconf-tools) Open dconf-editor as a user (don't use sudo)

Find:

baobab
window-size change value to set to default
window-state change value to set to default

but problem persist if you use expand all function.. so don't use it LOL
