I cannot manually re-open manually collapsed columns.
I have collapsed a few columns manually by dragging its header row borders but are now unable to open them back up. Even if I use my browser zoom button to precisely select the border the double arrow cursor will only select either column to the left or right of all the manually collapsed columns. I can verify the columns exist and are still editable in Card View mode. Is there a way to force these columns to a size I can get at them in Grid View?

Try to mark range of columns that will surround hidden one, press right button and choose unhide. It should work.

Hi Miles
As an alternative to Krzysztof's suggestion you can right click on any column header and select 'unhide All Columns.'

I did try those suggestions to no avail but what did work was:
I held down the Control button while clicking in between where the 2 visible columns to either side of the collapsed columns (there is about a 2 px visual indication that there is a hidden range of columns). This appeared to highlight about a 1 px wide border of a collapsed column. Then I double clicked and it auto-expanded the column. I did have to do this for each column that was collapsed.
To be clear, the columns were not "Hidden" but were manually collapsed by moving their borders with the double-arrowed cursor.
