The History view randomly decides to forget how I've resized its columns.  I carefully size its columns so avoid scrollbars and see "Affected paths" as much as possible.  Usually it remembers this when I do a new "Show History" command, but it frequently decides to forget what I've and resizes its columns on its own.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Show History.  Resize columns to your liking.
2.  Use Show History from different files, or from different views (e.g. Package Explorer, SVN Repositories).
3.  At some point, the History view will ignore what you did and resize itself on a whim.

I know this is minor, but it's really annoying, as I use Show History a lot.  I use Subclipse, not CVS.

This issue is not related to Helios SR1, it's been happening for a while, but I did just confirm it on SR1.

This is an issue with a history page provided by Subclipse. Please raise a bug against them.
