I confirm this problem is still with us in 14.04. Just to clarify, the problem 
occurs not just when the combined length of data in all columns is as wide as 
the frame of teh nautilus. I see it when some columns have space beyond the 
data they hold and still can not resize the columns. 
So we have two cases.
1.
When the data of all columns is narrow enough.
You do not care that you can not resize the columns. However in this case it is 
not huge problem because you can see all teh data.
2.
When the data of all columns is so long that it does not fit.
Example is when you search for data and the path is long and so as pointed out 
by Mario so eloquently you see:
instead file name and path you get:
fi.....      /home/smith/class2014/this/that............
fi.....      /home/smith/class2013/blah/.................
fi.....      /home/smith/class2012/so/and............
and this is the situation when it hurts a lot.
thank you for listening
