Strong +1 from me. It's always seemed a bit odd how long the entries can get when the window is wide; might as well use that currently wasted space to display more content.

IIRC, the objection to this last time it was proposed was that we needed a way to make the transition from single-column view to multi-column view to not be disorienting to the user. Could we animate it, perhaps? Seems like a textbook case of where an animation could help the user understand what's going on.

Cool. I think it makes sense visually. It can help scrolling and then it won't look as if we have these long strips all over the screen. Especially when screens these days are so big.
