Bug Description

On the latest file-roller in Ubuntu 13.10 (I'm using Xubuntu) if you open a zip file that contains a large number of files (30.000+), and double click on the column separators (IE: Name) it makes X unresponsive, the CPU jumps to 99% and once the program is done who knows what the column is resized to 1px making it dissapear.

This is a bit disconcerting for end users as their computer becomes unresponsive, and if they look elsewhere their column has disappeared.

If the end user closes File-roller then the size of the columns is saved (who knows why someone thought this was a good idea is a question for another day) so when they open another zip file the column that was resized to 1px appears missing.

This problem affects any column.
