Follow-up Comment #2:

Ähm. I guess this is supposed to be a feature and not a bug. It is related to
the button capturing for "kinetic-scrolling".

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkScrolledWindow.html#gtk-scrolled-window-get-capture-button-press

This allows to scroll the content of the window by pushing the mouse button
and moving the mouse. Only if the button is pushed and not moved for about one
second, the underlying widgets will receive the button pressed event. For
psppire this means you have to push the mouse button for about one second
before you move the mouse in order to change the column width. For changing
the width of the columns this is quite unusual compared to the existing user
experience (for me). 

The button press capture is only active when the window is in scroll mode. So
once there are enough variables such that the case does not fit in the data
window, the capture behavior (i.e. for us: one second wait to change column
width) can be observed in the data window also. 

The behavior could probably be changed via gtk3 api. I think it is supposed to
be activated in touch environments only. So maybe my mac laptop with touchpad
is considered "touch". However on osx the "kinetic scrolling" via the usual
osx two finger gesture is not kinetic at all for the gtk3 application...
