Column resizing in 12

Not sure if this is a bug, a limitation, by design, etc...

When trying to change the width of a column by dragging the right edge, the column can only be resized until the column to the right reaches a minimum width, then it stops. In my experience with other applications, when this point was reached, the columns to the right would simply slide to make more room for the column being resized. As it stands w/ BE12.0.0, I have to resize the columns to the right, then work my way back to the column I originally wanted to make larger. It's not a huge issue, but can be a bit frustrating when trying to resize, say, "authors" and having to resize "Year" and "Title" first.

On a related note, the rightmost column appears not to be resizable in a manner that would make the horizontal scrollbar disappear (the rightmost edge cannot be dragged). I'm stuck with a perpetual horizontal scrollbar that tells me there's hidden information when there isn't. Again, not huge, just a tad frustrating.

Thought I'd point them out. Thanks for the update, though! Really enjoying 12!

I'm not seeing the first problem you mention.. The column on the right moves rightward as you enlarge the left column. You can contact tech support with screen snaps if you think I'm not seeing what you actually mean.

As for the second, that's how the listbox control we use works. That behavior can't be modified.

I'm glad that you (otherwise) like Bookends 12.
