This is a known bug with 10.14.x. I don't know how to fix it, or if it is even fixable.

It also "works" vice versa: can't add one or more columns – just nothing happens.

[kode54]

Guess I can "fix" this by removing support for 10.14 and older.

@kode54 😱 For the love of everything on this ball of mud we call Earth, please don't.

@ThomRoss Yeah, nah, I won't be doing that. I may, however, decide to completely implement my own preferences saving, including my own hooks for saving window sizes and positions and column layouts manually. I think I want to use nlohmann json.

Anything to avoid the bullcrap of exactly 10.14.x breaking various System Defaults / Preferences saving and/or loading.

This is perhaps a variant of #376. (I am "ghost" in that conversation.)
