The space under the column picker is always empty unless there is a scrollbar.
For instance, see the preferences tree where text are cut off instead of
displayed fully because the text won't run into the space below the column picker. 

It looks bad and it wastes screen space so I'm surprised to not find this bug
already reported. It must be filed under some other component?

I also see the same problem in the list of news groups where a scrollbar is
seldom needed.
This is in an outliner tree. Forgot to say that.
fixed a while back

I have a build that's just a couple of days old where I see this. 

I'm using the modern theme. 

To make it obvious, open mailnews and make the left newsgroup list more and more
narrow. See the rightmost ~15 pixels never be used while all the names becomes
truncated.

Let's try that again, assuming it was minused for MachV.

Samir, this seems to fit our goals for Buffy nicely. If you did mean to minus it
for Buffy, can you explain why?

fix

This patch needs work.

I updated the patch to the trunk, but now I think this is not very good idea.
For example when you display "Total" column in folder pane which is aligned to
the right, is looks confusing, because numbers are displayed under the column
picker.
I also checked ns4.x and it doesn't use space under the column picker too.
So I'm going to mark this as WONTFIX.
However, I'll file a new bug for additional cleanup which this patch contains.

Too bad because when the whole table is very narrow the empty space represents a
great portion of the total table.
