Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Dragging a column header in mail listing and dropping it anywhere, but
one of the possible positions in the heading bar currently makes the
column disappear from the table. When I'm ordering the columns I'd
expect the column to go back to it's original location, when I let it go
without taking it to any sane new location. That is how drag'n'drop
usually works. If I actually wanted to remove a column (that doesn't
happen too often) I'd be perfectly ok with right clicking on the header
and selecting "remove this column".

The column disappearing is inconvenient, but I can open up the "add a
column" window and return it back. What disturbs me more is that some
times I actually remove the columns without even noticing. I'm an
experienced user, yet I'm still confused when things seem to disappear
"on their own". My best guess is that I accidentally drop them into
emptiness while doing other things, such as ordering the table by column
or fail to click on the first email message. I'm afraid Joe Average does
that too and it might not be too easy for him to get his lost columns
back.
