   Yeah, agreed. I keep trying to double click the border between cells, thinking it'll automatically resize that cell. But it doesn't work.

   Pretty sure this has been suggested before too, but I have no idea what became of the suggestion. It'd be really useful. 😄

   The columns can be resized to fit contents if the separator betweeen columns in the header is double-clicked. Moreover, in v3.12 the columns are sized by default to fit contents when the table is opened, until you save your preferences in a project file.

   What could be implemented is a way to resize all the columns to fit their contents. Is that what you are asking for?

   Where are you double clicking? It works in the headers... https://streamable.com/ct1r7y

   Weirdly enough, when I tried it again later on that day (with the same database), it worked. So, I have no idea what I was doing wrong... 🤷

   This is why we don't put you in charge of the nuclear codes. 😄

   I too would love to be able to have the columns sized to the data rather than the column name as an option.

   I see in the release notes for 3.12 "Resize columns according to contents (#2006)", but if I am mistaken it refers to row height, not column width? I say this based on my reading of #2006
