Comment (by costdev):

 From what I can see, there are four options:

 1. Add a `width` to the title (such as `15/20%`) - This will result in
 ''other'' columns being wrapped.
 2. Add `overflow: hidden`, `text-overflow: ellipsis`, and `width: XXXpx`
 to `.fixed .column-title`, truncating the title to `Visible part of
 titl...`, which will also need a `title` attribute added to the link so
 that users can hover over to see the full title.
 3. Remove `table-layout: fixed` from `.wp-list-table` - This will reduce
 rendering performance for large tables, in addition to adding a horizontal
 scrollbar when there are a larger number of columns.
 4. Accept that issue is caused by the number of columns and manage the
 column count using `Screen Options`.

 Short of additional ideas, I would imagine that the availability of
 `Screen Options` allows most users to resolve this issue to their
 satisfaction, and those with specific needs have one of the other options
 above.

 However, if the core aspect of this issue is that `title` in particular
 should ''never'' be wrapped and this is a case of tidying up, I think the
 first option above could be a desirable solution.
