I’m sorry it is a bit hard to catch your meaning without having all the context.
I think that what you need is to remove the width: 200 argument to the second column creation. In fact you don’t need to add a row there since there is only one widget. So in summary, I would try it with the following: newColumn: [ col2 | col2 add: #descriptorName]; -- Does this mail seem too brief? Sorry for that, I don’t mean to be rude!
