Steps to reproduce:

After a crash. I created a new profile with my various email accounts. I selected my desired columns, but am not able to resize the widths of the actual columns themselves/

Actual results:

I cannot resize the widths of the columns. Hovering over the column heading highlights the column and clicking/selecting it allows one to sort according to the column, but hovering between two columns does not change to a resize cursor/arrow to allow for resizing of the column width itself.

Expected results:

I should be able to hover between the columns and resize them.

Do you mean in the Thread pane which has Subject, Read, and so on?

I started my 67.0b3 on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Linux with a new profile, created an email account and wasn't able to resize or change the order of the columns.

Then I clicked the Column list to the right of Date, selected "Restore Column Order" and everything started working. I could resize and resort the columns.

I don't have any problem (other than an occasional crash) with my beta production profile.

Try that and report back.

Thanks for that tip. I selected "Restore Column Order" as you had suggested and somehow column resizing and moving then became possible. Doesn't seems intuitive that one would need to select that option to be able to move and resize columns.

So a bug of some sort?

So a bug of some sort?

Definitely in 67.0b3 on Windows and Linux with a new profile.

I tested what I believe is the last 68.0a1 build (Build ID 20190520104136) on Linux and it doesn't display the problem.

Yep, fixed in bug 1529872 / bug 1540394.
