Do you mean the Statistics summary dialog or the packet list pane and
here especially the info column?


He probably means the packet list pane, which means the answer is "grab
the right-hand edge of the title for the Info column - the mouse cursor
should become a <=> cursor when you can grab it - and drag it to the
right, past the right-hand edge of the window; that'll make the Info
column wider, and a scrollbar will appear".

Hmm, I'm using a 1400x1024 screen so I don't have much problem with this.
As far as I remember, there is an autosize feature for the columns. Might we want to use that feature? 


It'd be nice if we could save the column widths, although if you then
change what columns are displayed, you want to make sure that the saved
column widths still make sense, so if they're saved in the recent file,
they should probably be saved not as the widths of columns 1 though n, in
order, they should probably be saved as some type of column ID/column
width pair, with the code for the column ID and the width, e.g.

   column.widths: "%t"=17,"%m"=12,"%i"=70

and so on.



Or something like:

gui.column.widths.No = 50
gui.column.widths.Time = 100
...
