ISSUE: "added by" and "date added" columns hidden in playlist despite having room - Desktop

ISSUE: "added by" and "date added" columns hidden in playlist despite having room - Desktop

The code that determines whether to show the "added by" and "date added" columns in a playlist is not computing the column width correctly on Desktop. Despite having plenty of room, it is not showing up. This happens both with and without the "Library" sidebar expanded. 

After the app has passed a certain width, the "added by" column disappears and the "title" and "album" columns expand to take its place. I definitely understand why, upon shortening the width of the app, the "added by" column goes away by default - most users only care about the "title" and "album" columns. However, upon noticing that the column widths are draggable, I unexpectedly noticed that there was no way to get the "added by" column to be visible. It seems that whatever code determines whether there is enough room to add the "added by" column is not incorporating the user-defined column widths. 

I have attached screenshots below showing the point at which the "added by" column goes away, despite having more than enough room to be visible (from dragging the widths to minimum). 

First, when the library is expanded:
is visibleis visibleis hidden despite having plenty of roomis hidden despite having plenty of room

Second, when the library is unexpanded:
visiblevisiblehidden, despite having roomhidden, despite having room


The same thing happens with the "date added" column:
both visibleboth visibledate added is now hidden, despite roomdate added is now hidden, despite room

I believe this error can be resolved quickly by just using the user-defined column widths to compute whether there is room for the "added by" and "date added" columns.

To piggyback on this, I had both the Date Added column and Last Played (though Last Played seemed to have gotten wiped recently).  Then I think I mistakenly resized the "Your Library" space, and both date columns went away, and it can't be resized to get them back without expanding the library out fully.
