If all the text is too long for the window you can drag the window edge
to the left and hide the left panel.

I think I see where the confusion is. In ms windows if you grab the
right side of the last column header you can drag it and create another
blank column. I've just explored various qt4 listview type widgets and
if you double click on the right border of the rightmost column header
it can actually shrink to the point where you have whatever is
underneath the columns showing. If you have libqt4-devel-doc  and the
data package installed you will find the examples at /usr/lib64/qt4/ and
you can play with the various widgets and observe their actual behavior.
The widget used in the factory yast2-qt-pkg doesn't respond to the mouse
pointer over the right side of the right hand column header but the
right hand column has infinite size and if it's contents extend too far
right then the horizontal scroll bar appears. One thing you can no
longer do is make the size column smaller than it's contents but who
would really want to do that?
I suspect that this is a feature of the qt4 widget used for the package
list and if you file a bug it would have to be upstream
http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/task-tracker/ .
IMHO I think that the size column behavior is fine and when for instance
I want to view all the columns then I drag the left of the size column
until the horizontal scroll bar disappears.
Maybe if the description column cells were able to display double rows
of text it would enable everything to be visible at all times.
