The start time is nineteen characters exactly and the column was a hundred and forty pixels, which
fits eighteen of them. So 22:03:25 was drawn as 22:03:2 — which reads as a time rather than as a
truncation, and is why nobody noticed it until somebody photographed the column and read it.

Widened to a hundred and fifty-two. Found by an agent working on column layout, in a file it was told
not to touch, and reported rather than worked around.

Its other finding is recorded in §11 rather than fixed: a right-aligned caption sits flush against
the next column's, so "CPU %" and "Working set" touch. I could not establish from a magnified capture
whether the join is a clipped letter or two captions meeting exactly, and the header cell clips and
pads within its own bounds — which says they cannot be overlapping. Three changes have now reported
it and none has fixed it; it wants measuring in the shared painter rather than another guess, and
widening a column until the join stops showing would be the wrong fix twice over.
