I personally prefer to get my columns resized to fit the displayed content over columns remembering a size which does not fit the content.

I agree what I propose is not optimal but I think it is better than what was there before (and before it). QTreeView is surprisingly painful to get right. I spent an afternoon on this, and I am not willing to waste more time on it. The "real" solution IMO is to go for a two-line row like KMail does.
