For example... I have dual panels split horizontally, each can display about 12 objects. If I enter a folder that has 13 or more objects the Column Profile works properly. However, if the folder as 11 or fewer objects the columns are just random sizes, and my Column Profile is completely ignoring.

The bottom panel shows my Column Profile correctly applied; the columns are exactly where I want them. The top panel shows my Column Profile being ignored, so the columns are not the width I want them to be. It seems the problem only happens if the number of objects is less than the size of the panel. It almost appears to be related to the scroll bar; if there isn't one in a panel the Column Profile is ignored.
I'm using Windows 7 32 bit, fully patched and up to date.
