Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?
Every "spreadsheet" view that lists their data in rows and columns has columns with a fixed column size.
This works for most cases but it can be a problem with long texts or narrower screens.
It also happens on "inner windows" like in "Link Schedule"
Describe your ideal solution to this problem
My solution would be resizable columns and a horizontal scroll, like Excel or Google Spreadsheets
The thing is, there is already an auto-resize for the columns
Changing the column's width could mess that up or not
If manually changing the width could mess that up, a solution could be an option "disable auto width" or "enable manual width" or "[x] Fit columns to screen" so that the users themselves op out of auto-resize
Teaching and learning
I believe simple vertical lines should do
And a scroll bar appearing when the width is bigger than the screen should be self-explanatory
Now for the "disable auto-resize", (if this is the solution we are going with) I don't think this should be on the screen. Maybe a global option in Settings.
In this case, we should have this in the documentation Maybe on "Tips & Tricks"
