Glade >= 3.10 should be using a GtkGrid (as would be appropriate for GTK+ >= 3.0). > Other rows in the table use cells in those last few columns, so the table > does need to be that wide. Glade's UI for tables/grids display placeholder widgets to allow the user to add widgets to the table/grid, it of course does not show how the table will appear accurately. However there is a preview function which displays the widgets more accurately (select the table or it's toplevel and activate the "Preview snapshot" context menu item, or the tool item which also appears in the toolbar). FWIW, the table/grid widget's, (as long as 'homogeneous' is not set on the table/grid), will distribute space to the children based on the requested size of a row (or column) collectively. If you have a widget in the last column of a given row, you don't need to add anything else in other rows, the table will require enough width to fit the widget in the last column of a given row (but really, try the preview feature, that will show you accurately what the table would look like when loaded in your application with GtkBuilder). Hope this helps.
