I believe that this has been resolved as I noticed a recent change in behaviour . Drag column to desired width and save view . This then appears to stick across different browsers as well .

Title Column still cannot be edited at all.

 

Widths do save if you're accessing the list itself but I, and I assume many others, are going to be using the List (Preview) to embed it on a page. This is not editable and saved views do not include column widths. 

 

Not even close to resolved.

    Totally agree. You still cannot change the width of column on the list (preview) webpart on the page. When can Microsoft address it?

        So for a proper solution we would need:

         

        1. Don't put a min-width on Title column. (Sometimes a title can be just a ID so why waste so much space? having a min-width is pointless and looks unprofessional)
        2. Allow saving width for the Web Part (List Preview)

        Doesnt really seem that big of an update. Perhaps we'll get some action in 2020.
