Column width resize in modern list
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.

Tracy,
So far I have not seen any solution that will resize the columns to fit in one screen or even to just reduce the size of the first column. If anyone has figured this out, please jump in and explain the solution. Our current "solution" is to use the Classic list mode. We miss out on new features, but at least our users are not complaining about how bad the list is displayed.
