Column width adjustment too restrictive

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I want to enlarge the width of a column, but in doing so it only shrinks the 
immediate adjacent column.  If I want it to be wider still then I must go and 
manually reduce additional columns to the right.  (See attached screencast.)  
I'm not sure what the best algorithm would be to address this, but I don't want 
to hit a hard stop like I currently do.  Maybe it should collapse the adjacent 
column until it hits a minimum width (as it currently does) the start 
collapsing the next column and so forth.

And maybe add another option like right click and drag on column moves the 
column left/right but maintains its width (adjacent column widths are adjusted.

You can reorder columns using simple drag'n'drop. Column width doesn't change 
when dragging.

There is an action "resize column to fit data width" (right click in the table 
header). It does what it says (well, roughly) and resizes the remaining columns 
appropriately
