OK, it seems that the style sheets are messing this up. Take a look at the subtle differences as soon as you select something different than "No Style sheet".

The separator on the right hand side of "Description" is missing, preventing you from expanding the size of this column.

Could somebody please confirm.

P.S.: Work around ... change to "No style sheet", expand size of description column, change back to custom style sheet.

I have question regarding this description, i mean it's kindof useful, but it takes a lot of screen real-estate.
Isn't the better option to name the objects of the tree in a sensible manner instead? after-all that's how they are referenced afterwards.

Bear in mind I am here only asking a question to get opinions from other users.
