Works for me on 10.4.9 on an MBP.

Yeah, that's on the todo for the next release (probably within a month
or two).

Yes, I'd like to do this for many of the messages boxes. It won't be in
the next release, but it would make a good project for a new hacker for
the following version.

'just a bit wider' very much depends on the platform and font being
used! I'm not entirely sure how the algorithm might work - one immediate
problem that springs to mind is that we only actually know what data is
in a particular cell once it's been rendered; what we definitely don't
do is try to access data that the user hasn't scrolled into view because
that can *really* slow things down with large resultsets.

Yes, this is one of the things I have in mind for the release after next.

Thanks :-)
