A few days after starting to use 16.0.12112.20000 (but not exactly coincident with it), I noticed that the space between the folder pane and the message list suddenly looked a lot wider, like this:
Before, the unread count was always much closer to the folder names, and much of the intervening space (which I highlighted in yellow for this screenshot) wasn't there.
You might think, well, just drag the divider left. It doesn't go any further.
Now here's the weirdest part: once in a while (perhaps 1 out of 20 times that I ran Outlook in testing), it'll be back to normal again. Very little space between folder name and unread count, and free movement of the divider. But it only lasts until the next time your run Outlook.
I have another profile that I never use, but I switched to it for testing, and it does the same thing, so it shouldn't be the profile (and even if it was, there's nothing to explain how it magically works fine sometimes). I've installed subsequent Office Insider builds (this is on Win10 Insider) but have seen no difference. This feels like a bug to me, but I'm unsure.
