If something doesn't work properly, and then is improved, I don't
actually see that as being a feature.  In the specific case of the
number column, a user has a requirement for a long number, but cannot
see the whole of it because of the narrow width of that column.
Resizing the whole window doesn't help, as the extra space is grabbed
by the detail column.

The bugfixes only became necessary during implementation of resizing.
Neither came first - they developed simultaneously and are interlinked.
I'll try to do some separation though.

That was the case when using show()/hide().  Zeroing the widget heights
fixed that issue.  However, because it was a very variable phenomenon, I
would not be surprised if an odd one showed up later.

Ahmen to that.  I've now got shut of all the pulled hair.
