You're right! I completely forgot of the identical 2010 request. Sorry
for that.

One solution that we considered at that time was:

Have you got to the point of experimenting with that? I am wondering
if it isn't as bad as it sounds (the 'choppy' thingy). I am not sure
how Thunar handles this exactly, but it always automatically resizes
the column width to accommodate the longest string, and I have never
noticed anything peculiarly out of order even on dirs such as
/usr/bin/.
It may be worth a try. What do you think?
