[9.0b13] Tabstops allignment

[Frappuccino]

Just today I noticed for the first time that the file size value in the column Size is not aligned at the beginning of the column but it is overlapping with the Ext column. As if the header is too narrow compared to the content of the column.

Playing with the tabstops didn't make any improvements.

I have the file extension shown directly after the filename and not in an aligned tab.

Other Tabstops settings:
Adjust Tabs to window with - Off
Show century in date - On
Use 12 hours AM/PM format - Off
Show directory count in footer - On

Size display: bytes
Header/Footer: kbytes

Changing the size display to kbytes did improve a bit but still didn't solve the issue.

Hello Frappuccino,
That is by design.

Seriously? Just before reporting it was the first time I noticed this and I am using TC for years.

Why would it be by design? After all the other columns are aligned the correct way.

It's a very intelligent way of working with two variably large fields. Extensions are the most 3 characters, but sometimes also have 8 characters (eg. .manifest). So you need a column so broad that the most common types of extensions display correctly, so wider than the three-letter extension. And because most files will therefore column extensions vacancy, so it is wise to use it to display another variable data - file size. If you choose the size of columns properly, then you will have in the statistical majority of cases extensions and entire file sizes displayed correctly. I like this, it's touch of genius.
