The problem now seems to be that the name column is set to the width of the longest file name. If you have a rogue filename then the column can be off the screen and very hard to correct. When corrected the new column width does not stick so next time you open the same directory you have to do it all again. It just needs to remember the last width used for the directory or set a maximum initial width that is less than the width of the screen.
