SketchUp (2021) tag columns are stuck at narrow widths. I can’t read the full tag name.

Endlessfix, thanks for responding to such a trivial (yet frustrating) problem. I’m working with SketchUp Version 21.1.331 on the most recent macOS. Yes, before the update, the columns would expand with a broader window, but no longer, as far as I can tell.

@DWARNER Huh, even worse. I’m still on 21.1.278 so I have not experienced this bug yet. To add insult to injury the Tags Window is user adjustable in Layout. [3]

Problem solved with a complete reboot. . . Thanks all.

And I hope that one day they will fix the highlight tags that show as black text on dark blue background. This is on Mac. Other dialog windows are OK with white text on dark blue background.

This bug is killing me. Most of my larger drawings use prefixes on the tag names, and only being able to see the first 11 characters of the name means I can no longer identify some of my tags. I have restarted both Sketchup and my computer, anybody find another way to fix this on Mac OS?

I just upgraded to OSX Big Sur 11.6 and am running SU Pro 21.1.331 and it still consistently does not work for me. Hopefully they come out with a fix soon.

Huh, in Big Sur it runs 99 out of 100 just fine now for me. Part of the problem is there does not seem to be rhyme or reason to when it fails or why.

@colin has suggested a fix that worked for me, using latest SU 2021.1.331 on Mac but running on an older OS - Mojave.

This fix worked for me as well, thanks! I noted on that thread how to more specifically address the issue without blowing away all your preferences.
