Hi,

I'm using Mp3tag 1.9.5 on macOS 15.4.1. In the file list view I have this happening for several entries:

As you can see, the contents of the table cells for some lines are unreadable, because the cells have too much padding or something.

Clicking in such a cell to edit the content reveals a super-slim text entry:

Thank you for reporting! Does this happen every time you're using Mp3tag or is this something that's only happening under certain circumstances. Examples of such circumstances would be:

- Only if I bring back my Mac from sleep.
- Only if I move the window to a separate screen.
- Only if I load more than # files.

Sorry for the belated reply. I wasn't able to reproduce this in any way as of yet. All I can say is that it happened this one time when I loaded my whole library into Mp3tag (about 4000 files).

Thanks for the follow-up!

If you (or anyone reading this) finds a way to reliably reproduce the described glitch, I'd be very interested in knowing the details and fixing the issue.
