I have double-clicked on the border between two columns, in order to automatically size-to-fit the column on the left of said border. Unfortunately, this column is trying to display over a thousand CVS Tags all in one line of one row of the column.
The result is that the column now stretches beyond what the Tab view is capable of displaying, and I cannot scroll to the right end in order to find the end of the column... therefore I cannot resize the column to shrink it.
I further notice that as I do scroll to the right, once the scroll cursor reaches about halfway across its full scroll range, the text in the column no longer updates. It's as if the Tab view is incapable of containing, and there displaying, such a wide column of text.
Worse, when I tried to maximize this History view, to see if the scrolling mechanism would work better, the entire Tab view completely fails to repaint itself. I can see *nothing* of the Tab at all.
I simply want to restore this wayward column width to its default width. I can find no way to do it. Since I cannot scroll right to find it, I can't just drag the column border back towards the left to shrinkt it.
I can't find any setting in Preferences to deal with this. There is no rightclick/context menu available on the Tab view or the column header to allow me to do this. I can't find any text-file config settings in Eclipse's files to adjust it either.
Closing the History tab view doesn't reset the column width... it's still there the next time that tab opens. Closing the project doesn't clear it. Closing Eclipse doesn't clear it.
Is there no way to solve this?

Cross posting to org.eclipse.platform since this is referring to the
History view.
