I'm not so sure about that, compiling and running the example project
attached to that bug didn't give me any problems (running under Qt 5.10.1
from Fedora 28 packages), but I definitely saw the issues with Thomas's
original script. Also, that bug is about manually-resized column widths
being reset on sort order changes, not columns growing wider with every
change.

Huh, interesting. I ran your example code on Fedora with the
python-qt5-5.10-3.fc28 package installed, and I definitely saw the bug you
mentioned. First click, a horizontal scrollbar appeared, and then every
time I clicked an item, the list *widget* grew wider — even though the
width of the column itself was constrained to the window width. Resizing
the window resized the list, but there was still that extra area to the
right that didn't change size even as the window grew.

In fact, did you notice that every time you reverse the sort order of the
column, the width *also* grows? So it doesn't seem to be merely *adding*
items that widens the widget, it's any interaction or update.
