Hello,
this is a somewhat embarrassing question, but I can't change column width in EG 7.1 (this wasn't the case in EG 6) for several columns.
What works is: 1. select a single column (in the process flow window) > a double headed arrow appears > change the column with of a single column
2. mark several columns > right-click > use "width .. " in the menu-window > change the width of several columns
What doesn't work is: 3. select a couple of columns > the double-headed arrow appears > change the column width of the selected columns (pressing shift or control doesn't change anything) > only the column widht of 1 column changes
Please help 🙂 & Thanks
Ah, I see what you mean. The data grid was re-implemented in EG 7.1. Some new features were added (such as the Copy with Headers feature), but I guess some behaviors went away (like this one with the width). For completeness, I'll add an animation of that too:
I'll make sure that @CaseySmith is aware that you've noticed this feature is absent.

Do you mean that you're simply changing the display width (in pixels), like this? (See this GIF animation.)
I find that it works as expected in EG 7.11. Is this what you're trying to do?

I like your animation a lot.
Yes, this is exactly what I mean. With EG 6.1 you could select multiple columns and then use the "double headed arrow-symbol with a horizontal line in the middle" to make them slimmer or broader. The curser looked like "<-||->".
I am aware that there is the "Width .." option, but I am used to the mouse version.
In EG 7.1. the cursor looks different I "<-->" am only able to change the width of a single column. (I am sorry, but I find this annoying beyond believe).
