I rather like tables that auto-widen the column I am hovered over. But only when they smoothly animate over around .5-1 second.
That way, it can widen to show the widest item without drastically reducing legibility. Provided of course the other columns are still mostly understandable while not hovered. There is no easy solution. But this can go a long way as you can shrink any long text column dramatically. Enough to make sure the label is the catching point and not the contents. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
