Bug description
Using checkboxes "List Columns" section of File Manager Preferences dialog seems to have no effect, see the screenshot.
To change the selection of columns, I need to right click on the column headers.
Steps to reproduce
Open Preferences, go to "List Columns" tab, try to change something.
Expected behavior
I think the "List Columns" tab should do what it says: "Choose the order of information to appear in the list view."
Additional information
I am using Linux Mint and LMDE for years, and yet I am confused.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Nemo's File Manager Preferences, using the List Columns tab and then the column-header context menu for comparison. Trace the preferences handling and list-view column selection; done means changing the checkboxes updates the columns and their order in the list view.
