I see what you mean, but we need to test this maybe - it can "blow up" the
table quite a bit. thinking of the notes fields (materials, internal note, OPAC
note, enumchron...) that you would want to see when set and not hide via column
settings by default.

For libraries with only a few items per record, this could be seen as quite a
regression. Would it be possible to only "activate" this behavior if we have a
paged items table? Like check the count of items and then behave differently?
(just brainstorming, we need to decide on something, I am aware)
