User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/117.0

Steps to reproduce:

Try to alter width of columns (e.g. "Subject", "Corrspondents", "Date", "Order Received", ...) by moving the separators "|" with mouse cursor.

Actual results:

Cursor movement not corresponding 1:1 with width change. Afterwards unpredictable snapping back to some arbitrary width, different from the one previewed while still holding the left mouse button.

Multiple columns other than the one selected changing width. Generally unclear whether the separator changes width of the column to the left or right.

Expected results:

Same behaviour as in Windows Explorer. The only column that should change width should be the one to the left of the separator. Width change should align 1:1 with cursor movement. Column should not snap back to some pre determined width after letting go of left mouse button.

There are a few reports of this issue, like bug 1850677, bug 1853363 and bug 1834656.

Let's consolidate them under bug 1834656.
This probably is closest to bug 1850677
