Bug Description
In Gnome Nautilus 3.8.2 under kernel 3.8.0-26-generic (64-bit), using the mouse to change column width is unavailing. It's as if these widths are hard coded. This seems to be a reversion, since the problem has been reported by various people ever since 2007. Now, 6 years later, the bug remains unswatted. This sort of thing is an embarrassment to Ubuntu. Can something be done?

Resizing columns doesn't seem to be a problem for me with Nautilus 3.8.2 on 13.10 x86-64 as just released (for the Name and Size fields - Type and Modified are apparently 'wide enough' and not adjustable), but I'm experiencing something potentially related:
Intermittently, the "Type" and "Modified" columns do not respond to a click to sort by that column. Resizing the width of the window seems to be the most reliable workaround to get them responsive.
When the columns can't be resized, do the fields still respond to 'sort-by' clicks?
