New Issue search is not adjusting column width for text fields

XMLWordPrintable

      Issue Summary

      After adding a Text Field (multi-line or single-line) to the columns in filter results/New Issue Search the width of the column is fixed regardless of the content.
      This expands the search results' width by adding a horizontal scroll bar, which makes the results less readable:

      Switching to the old issue search - the width of the column is adjusted to its content making the results easier to navigate:

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Add a Text Field column to New issue search results

      Expected Results

      The column width should be adjusted to the results content or configurable.

      Actual Results

      The column width for the Text fields has a fixed value regardless of the content.

      Workaround

      Switch to Old Issue Search

            Hi,

            The behaviour described here is expected behaviour. Thanks to the feedback here and left directly in the Issue Search experience, we now understand that the current sizing takes up too much space for instances where the content of the field is usually very short. We have released an adjustment that slightly reduces the width of long and short text columns to help improve the interface while we work on a more holistic solution.

            To prevent duplicates, we will track the future work on this feature suggestion: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-6034
