Column Width Bug in iTunes - Can't resize certain columns

Using iTunes, I am trying to create the best viewing in my iTunes library view. Certain columns will not resize.


Genre, Rating, Bitrate, Date Added, Loved, Year, Artist, Album by Artist, Track Number, and Time appear to be adjustable for column width. Name is not adjustable. This leads to constant scrolling right in the library view to see the information. I have to assume this is a bug? Can someone please help.

Windows, Windows 10

The name column should be adjustable, it is in my iTunes Library.


The only way I could replicate your scenario was as follows:

  • move Name column to the right hand end
  • reduce Name column to minimum width
  • make other columns wide, so that left/right scrolling is necessary
  • scroll from the left, to the right hand end


In this situation, I was unable to widen the Name column since the adjust icon would not appear when I placed the cursor in the correct position. (I cannot put the adjust icon in my screenshots):




Try dragging the Name column to another position. You can drag it by left-click-and-hold and then dragging. Once it is in a different psotion, it is then possible to adjust the width.
