I regret to say that the patch solves the problem only in part. Now there is a lower bound for column width that lets a scrollbar appear but when managing long filename the problem is still there: no way to read the whole filename. The status bar still not help because it put ellipsis in the middle of filename. The ONLY solution here is the one that let the filname column to expand as wide as I need it, allowing scrollbar to appear. The same should be told for foldername column. In the attached image I try to expand the Filename (Nome in italian) column but the sum of all columns width is limited to the available space.
