Force smaller column width / Columns unnecessarily wide

[Laurens_Swart]

Hi there. I’ve looked around and found a few others to ask similar questions, but what I’m looking for hasn’t yet been answered as far as I can see.

I’ve read that “Save and verify” should automatically make columns the exact correct width that is required to show data. However, on my relatively large phone screen, the lay-out of my tables is not what I’d like it to be. I also do NOT have horizontal scrolling enabled (which was also suggested in some topics). And please note, I am already on Column width: Narrow (I also tried the other options, which didn’t really change anything).

Here’s an example:

What I would like is (I edited this with MS Paint :-P):

Any advice/tips/tricks are more than welcome!

Thanks!

EDIT: some deeper searching led me to this topic Truncation of columns: I have tried all the ... in which someone is experiencing problems with Formatted columns, saying that the icon/color causes problems with automatic column width. However, their column is getting truncated (too small, resulting in elipsis…), my problem is the opposite.
