Re: PATCH: Choose best width for Data Output columns of Query tool

Dinesh, can you review this please? In particular, please check it
retains the column sizes following refresh if the user has customised
them, and that it puts a limit on the size of very long columns so the
user doesn't potentially end up with extremely wide columns that
require excessive scrolling (I would suggest that a column should
never take up more than 50% of the visible space, unless that space
would otherwise be unused (e.g. you have 1 very narrow column, and one
large).

Thanks.
