It's not a simple one-line fix to the code. That's because the thousands separators consume space, and the available space affects the units used (which affects the space!). So it's like a chicken-and-egg problem. But, if you feel adventurous, and don't expect hand-holding from us: In lib/utils.c find the function size_trunc_len(). Change the three character string "%" (there's only one there!) to "%'". But now the separators will consume space and the size column will cut off a digit or two. So go to "Listing mode", choose "User defined", and change "size" to "size:10" to give it 10 columns (or more). But, as I explained, you'll sooner or later find that it's not perfect.
