You're right but I'd like to go on the old way. :)

you could make the lcolumn bigger if you want.

I did it before but dont want to reach a 180-200 px wide column.

 

I forgot to mention upper

that I want to extend it dinamically. If I open a subcat and it's going to be longer than the current widht than it should widening the column automatically to avoid line breaks.

Ok, this is not the perfect solution to your column width issues, but it has worked for me with no repercussions...

 

Create a transparent image that is 1px high and make the width the exact pixel width you want your column to be. Then, call the image right inside the first <td> tag in one of your left column boxes like so: <img src="/catalog/images/imagename.gif">. Save and up. Then preview your site and expand to the longest string of text and fine tune by either making the image shorter or longer. What this does is force the box and the column to fit the image...therefore expanding the box to the width of the image.

 

Hope that helps.
