Comment(by mcayland):

 Hmmmm good spot, I can actually reproduce this here and it only seems to
 occur with those 2 columns in that particular order. Will take a closer
 look and see if I can fix.

 In terms of the UI layout, the issue is mainly one with GTK being a
 complete pain when trying to calculate the size of fields when resizing
 the outer form. There is no (easy) way I can find to enable you to turn
 off auto-resizing and calculate what the displayable width of the field
 should be (based upon font metrics or similar), and so I went for auto-
 resize for short columns whilst allowing custom resizing on long fields
 such as filename. I'm not against people suggesting changes about how this
 should work, however I can't necessarily promise to implement them if GTK
 doesn't want to play.
