No such new knowledge is available.

530 by 500 to be exact.

Because we handle *that one case* explicitely, with
dedicated code

There is no code to handle that.

There is no auto-resize parent code.

However, for 0.7 I have slightly changed the generic list
handling code such that the default column widths policy

        if there's no explicit policy and there's any rows in
        the list set the columns to the widths of the wides item
        each

will apply way more often than before.

I set it to 640 which is the width of a 640 x 480 display.

Because there is no code to do that.

There is no actual data attached to that encounter thus the
encounter is "empty". Better labels are welcome.
