Because I ran layout-test and watch it shrinking the size of the columns, then wondered why and discovered that you are giving the dialog an explicit size. That's just plain wrong in a layout dialog, unless you are attempting to do something fancy. An explicit width means "make the dialog exactly this big". If you happen to give your table more content than it can fit, it takes the difference and subtracts it equally from each column. The "working" version just happens to look better because of the details of your layout; the extra width gets sunk into columns that happen not to need it, instead of spread evenly across the colspan range. The table code doesn't understand any of that and just shrinks all columns equally. Had you picked different strings to put in those columns, it might have looked equally bad or worse. Have you actually tried removing those two lines yet? I promise you it works.
