Description:
If I use long varchar values there, after applying pending changes, the field length became as long as the string ! That is not good ! It should have a custom length and it should remember the settings for each table !

How to repeat:

Suggested fix:

Many thanks for writing a feature request.

Unfortunately, I am not able to follow you.
Can you give us an example?

You're right !
I was not saying that I am in the INSERTS tab and there I add some test data for which I would like to set the column width ! If the text is long, when pres enter and click to apply pendings I get a long column with a exagerate width size ! I made myself clear now ?
