Grid field width default increase

Hopefully somebody from the SSMS team will see this.

I’ve been using SSMS for over 15 years and I sat down to do some work this morning and I capture error messages in the database from the try catch the one thing that has always annoyed me is that I always have to stretch out the message on the grid to read the whole thing and there’s not an option to make the default as wide as the longest message in the results.

This shouldn’t be hard to implement because I know this is done I think and see or C+ plus and the grid has options for setting the width of each individual field.

So that would be an option I would like to see is that you could keep it default at the cutoff or you can specify a max or have auto size without having to click on the grid at all.

Just wondering if any other developers out there wish this option was available as well.

Thank you and have a great day! :)
