Hard to understand the logic behind this. Re-sizable columns seems... obvious. At the moment I'm stuck with truncated columns in web parts on a Communication Site. It's contrary to years of best practice, why has MS stuck their heels in the ground on this one?

Its quite absurd that Microsoft continues to push out products that have many commonly used features and tools missing. Or they make tasks so time consuming to perform. Who really wants to spend countless hours learning and writing scripts? Its like we are stepping back in time, gone are the days of using a GUI to do simple tasks. If it wasn't for CRM and ERP systems that only runs on Windows I would propose the company I work for to swift over to Linux or Mac.

The only way I found to force a column to be wider in a sharepoint list is to add a load of characters to the header e.g. -------- Description -------- this forces the minimum width.
This does screw up other style views (e.g. Boxed or Preview), so maybe best to create a 2nd calculated column called widedescription and display the wide one only when necessary.
