That sounds as if, for custom columns using a field that has a value_string,
we're not taking the lengths of the strings into account when determining the
maximum column width.

Is that "printing" as in File -> Print, or is that "printing" as in "write to a
file and print the resulting file"?

That should probably be opened as a separate bug.
