Column width on report automatically expanding

Question

As of this morning:When I open a table report, the column widths are automatically expanding?&nbsp; I need my column widths to stay as I set them (narrow)..we do screen shots and don't want wide columns.&nbsp; On a Mac desktop, using Chrome...Thank you------------------------------BuildPro------------------------------

Have noticed the exact same thing. Looking forward to explanation. We've changed nothing in the app. The column widths are just quite a bit wider for all users, even for fields not designated as "display without wrapping". Does not have anything to do with the contents of the cells/fields.

Same as OP, I'm using a Mac desktop and Chrome, but also noticed on a Windows desktop using Chrome.

On August 1 they started to roll out the new table report which is supposed to run faster. They are doing the carefully starting with Realms beginning with A or B, or C, or D. It may not look any different on the outside but underneath it has completely different engineering. I can't really replicate your bug but it could be as simple as that when they rolled out a new engineering of the report they were not able to retail your preferred column widths.

If you fix the column widths to your liking by dragging them, do they stick?

I suggest though that you put in a care ticket because perhaps they can prevent this happening to realms further down in the alphabet.

I do remember seeing that they were overhauling the new table reports. They do stick once I drag them, but:
1) There seems to be a minimum width that's wider than it used to be.
2) It does some strange truncating we didn't notice before.
3) We have lot of reports across a lot of tables across 2 apps. So this is going to be a long process to have to resize every column.

I'll put in a care ticket to let them know. The new ones definitely load faster, so that's a good thing.
