Describe the bug
All columns are squished, auto sizes them instead of having to scroll, sounds good in theory but when you have 20 columns it sucks!
make it an option

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. open any board with more then 4 columns
  2. now open a board with 20 columns
  3. enjoy trying to read that!

Expected behavior
you used to be able to just slide left and right... now you need to buy 2-3 ultrawide monitors

Research direction

No source file or test is named in the report. Start by reproducing the layout in a Deck board with more than four columns and then with 20 columns across the listed desktop browsers. Done means the column-width behavior is configurable and the selected behavior remains usable without requiring ultrawide monitors.
