Table columns on OS X Monterey 12.3 and KiCad 6.0.4-0 are sized very poorly

I am running KiCad on a Mac M1. First of all, THANK YOU for fixing the OS X window system interaction issues in v6 that have been in KiCad on a Mac for a long time! You have made my EDA life so much better!

When I bring up a property window the columns are very poorly sized, usually there is at least one column that is extremely wide and then the following columns are very narrow so as to be useless without manually going into the table and manually resizing each column to make it usable.

Columns too wide and also squished together:

This happens every time I open up any property window in the schematic editor or the symbol editor (I haven’t tried any of the other tools in KiCad 6 yet). Even if I resize the columns then close the window, when I open it again, the column layout goes back to the previous layout.

Another example of poor column layout:

Is this something that I need to change/fix outside of KiCad (such as an OS X setting of some sort)?
