Hi,

I've already commented on bug 408155 but I'm not sure if this will get
attention because the bug is already marked as fixed.

Making the name column expand yields very strange behavior when resizing
columns. Browsing around is a pain in the back now. Usually, I use
several windows which I also tend to resize from time to time depending
on the situation. With an expanded name column, the width of the column
changes whenever resizing the nautilus window. I see myself constantly
resizing columns when working with nautilus. In certain situations it
doesn't even let me do what I want (see my comment on bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408155 ).
