Description

When fman is first launched, the columns containing file details can fail to be shown in one or both panes. It only happens when fman is started maximized and the pane's starting folder contains more files than fit.

The folder in the left pane has just one more file than the folder in the right pane.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. First reproduce the problem by launching fman maximized with panes whose starting folders contain more files than fit, then trace the initial pane layout and file-detail rendering; done means both panes show their file details reliably on first launch.
