The longest file in dir1 is "qwertyuiop" I toggle this option ON I change to dir2 containing "qwertyuiopasdfghjkl" The column width changes but I can see only "qwertyuiopasdfg" When I change back to dir1 the column width leaves unchanged
Gentoo up-to-date stable, XFCE4 compiled by me from sources. Thunar 0.9.3 (why can't I specify that version when entering the bug?)
Because I just added that version (it's 0.9.93 by the way).

I don't think there ever was a Thunar 0.9.3. As for the column issue: I have the same behaviour here using trunk so either Nick or I will look into it.

I'm removing the blocking-1.2 flag. This bug does not cause data loss, so it cannot be considered critical. I'm also changing the version to 1.1.4 as the most recent release of Thunar is still broken with regards to autsized columns. I played with these things a little bit. It seems like autosizing is entirely broken. It's not applied at startup and GTK+ seems to determine the column width wrongly. We'll have to look into it again later.
*** Bug 6551 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Just as a reminder and to give a use-case where this bug has gotten even more annoying due to a change in the way files are selected now (when drag&dropping a frame to select multiple files): https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=47461#p47461
I confirm this bug, and it is very annoying. Debian testing just upgraded to Thunar 1.8.1, and now whenever I open Thunar on my home directory, the Name column seems to start wide then quickly contract to very narrow, leaving many names truncated with ellipses (...) at the end. Also, since Thunar does not remember column widths (or layout) on a per-directory basis, I spend an awful lot of time fiddling with column widths instead of getting real work done.
Possibly duplicate of Bug #14462
Update: Using Thunar 1.8.4 and this bug still exists.
