Version: 2.2-SVN (using 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-13-generic When I have much information displayed per track, it gets hard to see what information is what. In the old playlist, the borders of the columns served that purpose. The new one has "dividers", but they take away a huge lot of space. If, instead of dynamically growing, the dividers would be just as wide as they are drawn (10 pixels, perhaps) and the items containing actual information can take up all the remaining space, that would be a big improvement.
Setting the divider width to Custom 1% should solve that, no? I can't see any problems here with that setting.
No, it does not work. Even after setting the width to 1%, the playlist looks like shown on the screenshot I will attached - tons of space wasted by the dividers, but the track names elided because they are too long to fit into the space left. Besides, I would argue that dividers should never expand in width, even if it is set to automatic. (btw, am I supposed to change the status when providing information to a WAITINGFORINFO bug? Don't know the etiquette in this case, sorry)

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, you can change the status when you give feedback, that would be nice :) Changing status to confirmed. I had to actually modify my screen resolution to see the problem.
This is actually a bug in the width setting. 1% causes it to behave exactly like the "Automatic" setting. (2% and such work just fine).
