Public bug reported: When viewing files in list view with Nautilus, the columns change their width back and forth when: -switching to another window -switching back to Nautilus -moving the Nautilus window -Alt-tabing between windows -right clicking to bring up the context menu -clicking on the global menu -clicking on any of the options buttons -and more!
Basically doing anything but clicking on a folder or file will cause the columns to resize themselves. But this does not happen all the time... it seems like only when viewing a directory with a substantial number of files and folders, though I have folders with hundreds of images in them and it does not happen, so it's tough to pin down when it occurs. It does happen when viewing my home directory with hidden files shown. Changing the theme to Highcontrast seems to fix things, but that's not very pretty. A similar bug was reported for 12.10, which was marked solved: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1073913 ...but apparently the problem is back.
