Check your /etc/setup/installed.db for a package with a long string of repeating version numbers, e.g. "foo-1.3.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2" or something like that. At some point in the past there was a packaging error that named a package with an improper version, and for whatever reason setup got confused by this and recored this malformed version number. The columns adjust their size to fit the widest element in the column, and if you have this bogus package number that would cause it. Alternatively, if you just switch to the Full view and page through the list you should be able to find the package that is causing the column to be so wide. Uninstall/reinstall that package.
