Description

Nextcloud v34.0.2

In the webGUI of the trash bin the column for showing where the files were before deleted, and would be restored to, is very narrow. There's a LOT of unused space in the filename column, and we can't adjust the widths of columns in this context (so far as I can tell). So can we please have the file location column widened to be actually useful and legible without having to hover my mouse over each and every file I want to restore to see where it's going?

Research direction

Start by locating the web GUI components and styles for the trash bin file list, then inspect how the filename and restore-location columns are sized. Update the layout so the restore location is wider and readable without hovering, while preserving the existing file-list behavior; verify the trash bin view with long locations and filenames.
