Hi :

I have now managed by pulling and pushing borders to get a display of key
manager with 5 columns : Name, KeyID, Type,  Key validity, Expiry.  This is
quite acceptable.

When I add 'fingerprint', 'name' shoves off the left hand side.  You are quite
right that by dragging the border on the left-hand side of the rightmost wide
fingerprint column, I can reduce its width.  But the result just pushes the
excess width to the second right column.  Grabbing the left-hand border of the
2nd right column and dragging to the right just pushes the rightmost column
out of the window.  You can get it back by using the scroll button but then
you lose the left hand columns.

The problem seems to come down to this :-- the 'name' column has not
disappeared but has collapsed down to leaving a small trace - the up/down
arrow which is situated at the right-hand edge of each column and which
indicates the sorting direction. A single click on this remnant does change
the sorting direction correctly (ie according to 'name' values). Also visible
is the series of small arrows, the expand gadget, normally at the left-hand
edge of the name column and which serves to expand each key.  These also work
but additional IDs are not visible because the name column no longer has the
width needed.

This remnant of the collapsed 'name' column can just be seen in the image
keymanager2.png attached to my previous email.

In Thunderbird, for the email fields, I have 19 possible optional columns in
addition to the 'subject' column (equivalent to 'name' in enigmail ie the
column which cannot be deselected).  I can select all 19 optional columns at
the same time without the 'subject' column collapsing.  Of course, even if I
expand Thunderbird to full screen, you get very limited info in some of the
columns.  But they are all visible.

My conclusion is that there must be some difference in the implementation of
the key manager display and the Thunderbird display.

But since this does not seem to affect anyone else, and I now have an
acceptable display of Key Manager, there seems no point in continuing this
thread.  Thank you all for your assistance in helping me get a better display.
