Summary0004292: Catalogue tabular view should auto-size
DescriptionComposr as a general rule uses 'fixed' sizing for tables, so that they can be as neat as possible. For example, for columns just containing buttons we don't want excess space to be auto-assigned there.

However, we cannot realistically do fixed sizing for catalogues as we have no idea how many content columns there will be and their relative minimum/maximum/average content lengths.

We therefore should put automatic sizing on catalogue tabular views in the default templates.
This will still in the vast majority of cases respect fixed column sizing on particular columns (view link column if present, rating column if present).

The trade-off is reduced performance rendering the table in the web browser.

A hotfix (a TAR of files to upload) has been uploaded to this issue. These files are made to the latest intra-version state (i.e. may roll in earlier fixes too if made to the same files) - so only upload files newer than what you have already. If there are files in a hot-fix that you don't have then they probably relate to addons that you don't have installed and should be skipped. Always take backups of files you are replacing or keep a copy of the manual installer for your version, and only apply fixes you need. These hotfixes are not necessarily reliable or well supported. Not sure how to extract TAR files to your Windows computer? Try 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/).
