2022 Premier. 

I just did this.

I added a few columns to set them.

I did close all windows and reopened item list.

This is item list by Top ribbon -> List -> Item list. 

If I pull item list from sales receipt using CTRL+L, It gives me this, Which seems to be a different "item list" still called "Item list"

What are you doing, that I am not? And like I said, it always takes the most useless column with a few characters and makes that large, and useful columns with lots of characters are small. Tomorrow, These list will be completely different than they are right now.
