Yes, that's the fault in my expectations. I was expecting it to automatically resize the columns but within the limits set by the window. As a programmer, I guess that this would be very hard to program in a way that it works correctly under all corner cases. > > Further notes: > > - I'm not sure if the auto-expand code behaves correctly when there > > simply isn't enough space. > > Why?

Wrong expectations, I was assuming that Thunar auto-adjusted when resizing the window, but as you said it only adjusts to the required size of the columns. Thanks for the quick feedback!
