Shows a dialog box which is maxed to the extreme

This request came to my mind working with the 'Columns' tab while editing a table. I had a document with a large table (around 20+ columns), and I wanted to properly set each one's width.

With that many columns the design of the colums tab turns out to be very annoying, as it only shows 6 editable fields at a time.

It would be great, if more editable fields could be added, once the user extends the size of the dialog box. I'll add a screenshot that demonstrates the look of that box on a dual-monitor workplace: much space wasted.

If this proposal is impossible to fulfil, at least add buttons that shift all 6 fields to the left or right side. Currently, I can only shift them one by one.

Thanks a lot!
