hi josh,

if you look in the above screesnhot, all 5 simple text columns got a consistent width, probably 200px based on what you say. the one multi-line column actually gets crushed, which doesnt make much sense.

while certainly the participant Id column could be reduced in size, it's a much more widespread problem than that.

i attached a screenshot of different grids in which labkey does a much better job of distributing width. however, you see that certain string columns get downsized in width, but the lookup columns stay at 200px. could this have something to do with labkey expecting to use a different display column and/or not knowing what width to expect from the display column? does labkey have some sort of process by which it tries to fit the grid to screen width and certain columns get their width cut first?

the main point is that while most of the time strings get 200px some of the time they dont. it'd be nice to figure out how to make more of them do that.
