Column widths shrink with every launch of FCP.

I'm using Final Cut. I set up my columns the way I like them. I put the time (say, in the Last Modified column) right up to the right edge of the browser. Do some stuff, and close Final Cut. Later, I open Final Cut again and the column has shrunk! The last digit in the time is gone! WHY? Same thing happens in Mac Mail with all the columns (well, maybe not the first column). In the Finder, the columns almost always come up wrong. What's with the columns bit? I can't imagine why anyone would want this, and I can't imagine the code it would take to be a bug that causes this. Leave the columns alone!

Yes, I launched with Opt-Cmd. No dice. I've had this problem for a long time (just got fed up and I am asking now), so I doubt a reboot will fix it. What is it with the column-width shrinking?

TIA!

FCP 10.6.8

macOS 12.7.6

Luckily I don't need to use many shortcuts as it takes me so long to decide what to do next that I am only too ready for a bit of physical activity with the mouse. 🐭

So titles affect the column widths in the Browser when opening FCP? Do I have that right?

Seems to have gotten worse lately. Thanks for the word.

I have noticed upon occasion that the Title/Generators browser will resize from time to time. I usually am able to correct it (for awhile, at least) by the Quit and Keep Windows option.
