status column in synaptic download window keeps disappearing

ideally, after selecting some files and pressing the apply button in synaptic, the download starts. the download window shows an option of "show individual files". now four column should be visible - status, size, package and URI.

the status column (boxed with green in the lower part of the image[http://imgur.com/B11ezyD]) is there initially but after sometime URI column broadens and removes the status column.

the only way to find the status column again is to extend the download window horizontally. unfortunately, the problem recurs and the status column keeps disappearing.

expected behaviour: the status column should always remain visible ( it was so in 12.04)
