Column Width

I don't understand why the column width can not be changed or the column width adjusts based on the length of the data in a field. This is basic. Street address and phone number for example wraps within the cell so the result is only about 8 records being viewed per page. Highly inefficient use of screen space and quite annoying. Zoho needs a solution for this. It may be costing you users. Does anyone have a workaround?????
