--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <***@kde.org> ---
This was caused by the change to auto-size all columns by default (which is a
better default setting for most views):
https://cgit.kde.org/kio.git/commit/?id=e504bc1fd56412ee7e9748a0dfafa537977ec1b5

Specifically, the change from:

headerView->setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView::Interactive);

to:

headerView->setSectionResizeMode(0, QHeaderView::Stretch);
+ headerView->setSectionResizeMode(1, QHeaderView::ResizeToContents);
+ headerView->setSectionResizeMode(2, QHeaderView::ResizeToContents);

We should provide a way to turn off this behavior like Dolphin has. As a
workaround, you can switch to Tree View using the two-slider icon above the
file list

[KDirOperator] Don't squeeze Name column when there isn't enough horizontal
space

Summary:
When a `KDirOperator` view is used in {nav Detailed} or {nav Detailed Tree}
view, when there isn't enough horizontal space, the {nav Name} column currently
gets squeezed and becomes illegible.

This patch fixes that by making the name column fixed-width so it never gets
too small to read the contents; instead the view sprouts a horizontal
scrollbar, which is preferable.
FIXED-IN: 5.54

Test Plan:
In Kate's Filesystem Browser plugin sidebar view: {F6466450}

In the open/save dialog when there's not enough horizontal space: {F6466451}

In the open/save dialog when there //is// enough horizontal space: {F6466452}

In this case, the other columns no longer stick to the right size of the view
when the window is resized, which maybe isn't as nice as current behavior. Open
to suggestions.
