Variables window not showing entire matrix

When i open my variable in the variable window, the numbers are not displayed entirely.
I have to stretch each column in order to see the numbers. Is there a way to make it automatically show at least 4-5 digits?

@Ayman Suliman: upload your image here by clicking the image button above the textbox. Do not link to third party websites.
Which MATLAB version are you using? I can tell that it is not one of the more recent ones: the more recent ones have a series of three tabs along the top of the variable viewer.
Not exactly sure what version, but it's either 2016a or b. Or is there a more precise version number? Or is there some way to update? (actually a friend that has the bug so might take a while to check version number)
I do not seem to be able to replicate this on MS Windows with R2016a. No matter how wide or narrow I make the window, the columns are not that narrow.
If you go up to the View tab, then there should be a Format section that allows you to select which format you want to use to display the value. Try changing that.
Version is R2016b. I have R2016a and can't replicate it either.
Format section only changes how long the digits are that are displayed, sadly doesn't fix the issue :(
Hello Ayman, I am working for MathWorks. I understand that you want to resize the column width of the variable editor. This is a known limitation of the variable editor that it's column does not resize automatically with the data. The corresponding team has been made aware and this enhancement will be considered for future Matlab releases.
