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

Title:
Impossible to change column width of Nautilus in list view
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In Gnome Nautilus 3.8.2 under kernel 3.8.0-26-generic (64-bit), using
the mouse to change column width is unavailing. It's as if these
widths are hard coded. This seems to be a reversion, since the problem
has been reported by various people ever since 2007. Now, 6 years
later, the bug remains unswatted. This sort of thing is an
embarrassment to Ubuntu. Can something be done?
