Hi John, (or is it Wallace?)
In order to answer your question, you need to start by determining where
you are trying to take the space /*from */in order to enlarge the
caption. Unless you have discovered something new, there are only three
choices: (a) you are making the next column smaller (b) you are pushing
the later columns down to use some currently vacant space at the end of
each line, or (c) you are pushing the rightmost column(s) partly or
fully off the page. You are almost certainly trying for option (c) and
MLO will resist you - you told MLO to display those columns on the right
and it's GOING TO DO SO! If you enlarged some column and forced those
columns off the page but you didn't give MLO permission to stop
displaying them, then you must have been trying for a temporary zoom-in
to view something that was truncated, so as soon as you look away MLO
will try to correct the situation and get back in compliance with your
directives by shrinking the caption until the mandated fields fit once
again.
My opinion is that MLO starts by putting all the columns on the screen
at their default width, untimate column at the right margin, penultimate
column to its left, antepenultimate to the left of that and so on until
only the caption remains. The caption then gets all of the unclaimed
space, which may be too much or may be too little. Or by strange
coincidence, it could be just right, like Goldilocks.
So my prescription for enlarging the caption is: right click on the
column header to get a list of columns with the included columns marked
with a tick. Untick a few columns that you didnt really want anyway, and
see if the caption doesn't grow.

ps thanks for the chance to use the word "antepenultimate" - it's been
years.

Hello
I have a problem that I cannot get my column widths to stay put when I
move from tab to tab. And I have the same problem when I click on View
in the left hand column
Sorry this is an old problem, but I can't find the correct discussion
thread. And it's bugging the heck out of me!
i.e. Every single time I change view, the first column (which in my
case contains the Task name) collapses to being stupidly narrow. I
have even tried increasing the column width, clicking on Filter
(bottom left) and then Saving the view under a new name. However the
problem does not go away.
Any thoughts?
