Created attachment 6627 Thunar screenshot Thunar 1.6.10, Xubuntu 15.10 This bug: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6551 was supposed to have been resolved, but appears not to have been. Or, I've found a new regression. As you can see from the attached screenshot, file names are still being truncated. Also, you can see that the column widths are inconsistent. the 'Type' column is a little too narrow, and the 'Size' column and 'Date Modified' column are far too wide.

Similar issue - didn't know about auto resize until now but I have it on & it doesn't seem to work; when I manually doubleclick the resize handle it shrinks the column to a standard tiny size rather than wrapping to the widest item.
(In reply to Simon Dedman from comment #1) > Created attachment 9658 > screenshot As well wrapping to the widest item is not good. Just imagine you have some file with a 300 character name. Already got fixed by just using some sane default (30characters): https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16391 Released in thunar 1.8.14 .. that said, I will just close this bug, since IMO there is no perfect solution for the name column, and the other columns currently dont seem to have issues.
> Just imagine you have some file with a 300 character name. Fair point. Though if the user doubleclicks the resize handle perhaps that could override the auto-width? Cheers for blazing through all these bugs recently Alex!
(In reply to Simon Dedman from comment #4) > Though if the user doubleclicks the resize handle perhaps that could override the auto-width? Currently it does not. The patch just sets a default width for the name renderer, which was unset before. If you close, and reopen thunar with "automatically expand columns as needed" enabled, you will again get auto-width, instead of "30 chars" .. you still need to uncheck the box manually to manually define a fixed width.
