If several related issues are scheduled for an upcoming design meeting, it
might be useful to post a note about it on one of the issue pages, or email the
reporters/main commenters about it. Specifically, I would have tried joined you
for discussing this one.

I don't understand how that relates to what I asked.

I said nothing about proportions. This bug is about setting the same width for
all columns.

> More controls and options clutter the UI further.

The UI redesign might take care of that. Right now, we don't even have O(1)
controls! We have O(number of columns) controls :-P

Actually, it's not even obvious we have to have another control for this. Think
of how this is implemented in Microsoft Word:

Or the context-menu-triggered dialog. Something which only appears contextually
when multiple columns are selected, or whose functionality changes contextually
is also a possibility.

Anyway, I would ask that you reopen this for now, until the UI redesign, and
then make a final(?) decision.
