[Discover] column scaling regression in discover

[msillence]

Describe the bug

Since upgrading to 2.11 though the new styling is very nice but the previous version I remember doing better with auto scaling when you select fields to show in discover

They are now all the same size and if you manually change the column widths they reset when you navigate to the next page

Also it would be nice if the last column auto pinned to the far right. Currently if you drag the left of the last column the right side comes with the left meaning you have blank space to the right of the last column. See second screen shot

Hi @msillence, I suggest moving the issue to the dashboard project https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards.

Hey @msillence, thanks for opening this and providing valuable feedbacks. For the first request regarding side nav, we saw similar request here https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards/issues/4780 and https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards/pull/5635 add collapse option to resolve it. There is also another customer report this in https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards/issues/5683. For the second one regarding the dead block, we will work on it.

This is not a bug. We do support collapsible left nav now to free more space. @msillence I will remove the bug tag and let me know if this collapsible nav help your issue.
