Editor dialogs not remembering table spacing

The column resizing has a bit of history now.

Have users discovered any other dialogs where columns have been overlooked? I found one so far. (Lost the bug report a couple times due to timeouts. But am about to try again.)

  • The Multiple Surname layout of the Person Editor has invalid column widths for Prefix and Connector. Nor does it remember resizing of those columns.

By default, the Prefix is too narrow and the Surname column is too wide. The (too narrow) Connector column, Origin and Primary columns are too far to the right.

After resizing the dialog wider, re-opening the Person Editor remembers the dialog width but none of the column resizings.
