This bug causes crashes and a corruption of ToDoList.ini

Preliminary comment
:
Please note that the "MS Windows ListView" control has native "CTRL + NumPadPLUS" handling ( it resizes all the columns and adapts the width so that the content fits in the column ). It is a very useful shortcut when you get used to it. This is what I tried to use when I discoverd this bug.

Scenario:
1/ disable the (overloaded) TDL keyboard shortcut "CTRL + NumPadPLUS" in the "TDL Settings"
2/ set focus in a tasklist and press "CTRL + NumPadCTRL" in order to use the native MS Windows ListView keyboard shortcut
=> TDL displays columns without title that shouldn't be there + ToDoList.ini corruption (!) + Crash...

Preview:
See preview how TDL looks after using the auto-size feature, notice the extra columns that get created

Hi Patryk

This is fixed in the latest development release of 7.1 (which you can find in a pinned post near the top of the forum).

Yeah! Rock'n'roll !! Just tested 7.1.0-dev.8, it looks great !!

I noticed the new menu when right-clicking on the headers, it's very neat and accessible.

Many thanks :-)
