Chill out - I meant that default sizing based on the width of the
headers would be a nice fix so that the names weren't truncated.

I will look at the size retention issue - I hadn't noticed that was
broken.

I on the other hand copy and paste data on a regular basis in SQL
Enterprise Manager for example and will find this feature particularly
useful in pgAdmin, as will other people I know both at work and in the
community.

As for repeatable query result timing, I see nothing in the patch that
has made the timings non-repeatable, or even for that matter altered the
initial query timing at all.

No, and noone has suggested doing so. The headers on the other hand tend
to have much more regular lengths.
