Well, from the category "Works fine on my system", I'm using Xiphos 4.1.0
on Centos 7, compiled myself, and when I put 3 or 4 translations into a
parallel window (or tab) I see all translations appear to be the same
width. stretching or shrinking the window makes no obvious difference.
I'm using the Mate Desktop, in case that makes any difference. But I
suspect it may be something that Karl has fixed in the interim.
