The default QT behaviour is, that it won't display the horizontal scrollbar, but
simply cuts all texts at right window edge. There's no wordwrap nor any other
means to see the rest of the text (who designed this ?! even wxwidgets did that
right).

So by setting column width to 20000 pixels, we just define that the area for
text is larger than current visible part in window. As a consequence, texts are
not being cut and horizontal scrollbar is being displayed, allowing the user to
read text behind the right window edge.

  With kind regards,
