Hell o!
I've seen the official changelog but I strongly disagree with the wording on the following change : "Dataview: improvements in column width management" as it clearly worsen my experience in column width management.
The culprit :
Resizing columns is a key part of making a dataview, which is one one the most used object and
I've been using this changed interface for a couple of month on beta of 11.3 and was hopping it didn't get released since this interface is the worst UX ever.It's a LOT MORE time consuming as you have to select the column you want in the list then input the value, then select the next column input it's value and so on. Before only had to just scroll once and use the tabulation key to go to the next column you wanted to input.
Also, you lost any overview of all your columns size to verify everything is correct. For example, you can't verify quickly that one every 3 blocks is a different size as its a percentage - which it happen very often.
Yes it bring the functionality to change all column at one but at a cost and the where other way to do the same without degrading the classics use cases.
Please revert this change : We need less click to do thing! Not more!
The fact that kind of change can be release makes me wonder if the UX team that design that kind of change actually use Board and if they get the feedback they need. And really worries me because the interface needs a lot of improvement to actually make project faster and not be just "all show" and it seems were heading the wrong way.
