How can I set the column width permanently?

vmonk · March 11, 2022, 7:43am

When I close or resize the left pane, all columns are invisible small after reopening the pane.

Invisible small? Can you please post a screenshot/screencast?

more precise: invisible wide

Okay, thanks. I see the same, just thought that 'invisible" might mean something different.

Usability issue with column resize policy on changing the table pane width

TasksTable Usability

When resizing the task table pane, GanttProject shrinks or grows the last visibl…e column, unless it is already very narrow. This causes usability issues: 1. If the task table pane is hidden using pane hide arrows then when it expands again, all columns except the last one have the minimal width, while the last one occupies the whole table. Expected behavior is that columns keep their widths 2. Resizing the task table width with a mouse also may make the width of all columns but the last one minimal. Also, when one makes the table wider, they probably mean to make all columns wider, not just the last one.

Hello,
I still have this problem with the last version 3.3.3300.
Is there something to do to fix it ?

Thank you

You’re right, it works with native columns but not with personal columns

It works with custom columns too:
