Column width on report automatically expanding

As of this morning: When I open a table report, the column widths are automatically expanding? I need my column widths to stay as I set them (narrow)..we do screen shots and don't want wide columns....

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.

Ok, we'd love to hear what support has to say, they will be keenly interested in your feedback as that is exactly why they are rolling this out slowly, so they have time to react to any issues.
