Summary

0000217: MP 2.63.6 columnar data 'gutter' problem

Description

MP 2.63.6.3212 Qt 4.6.2 Win XP Pro

(As discussed in private 'progress' emails, Jan-Feb 2009.)

When you fixed bug 99 (alignment of some columnar data) it was a great
improvement, except for when one ends up with two adjacent columns in a
display being, say, (reading left to right) right-aligned and left-aligned.

No matter how wide you then drag a column you can't (of course) get a
'gutter' between the values in the two columns. Here I 'fix' it by placing
some of the status flag columns (which are narrow) between the columns I
really want. It'd be better though if aligned text had a few blank pixels
inserted at the left or right side. Or, if as well as the data-carrying
columns in a display one could insert any number of padding gutters in the
column layout. So instead of having, say,

   ... Sent From ...

I tend to have

   ... Sent Replied From ...

but would rather be able to have

   ... Sent Gutter From ...

and of course I could then set the gutter columns very narrow.
