Following the grid system that we should be using for layout, columns would have a size expressed in whole cell units and a fixed number of columns would work everywhere, though for wide screens there would be some waste. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Human_Interface_Guidelines/The_Sugar_Interface/Layout_Guidelines About text, I'm afraid we cannot do anything else than let them wrap if are too long, and just scroll vertically as needed.
