Description
Using the Nick column under "Messages" and making the divider more than 3 pixels wide will start to overwrite text on both sides of the divider, rather than increase the actual margin between the two fields. The text does not move.

The nick column is draw on top of the white-space between the nick prefix and the message so the nick column cannot be wider than a white-space of the current font/font-size.
Okay, but why have an option to have an X pixel width divider if it only does this?
Every user would assume that this simply widens the gap beween nick column and messages.
Because different users prefers a different width and users use different font/font-sizes.
The white-space is the max width, not the minimal width.
This is also mentioned on the wiki page for this option https://dev.adiirc.com/projects/adiirc/wiki/Messages_Options#Nick-Column
It is also possible through scripting to widen the gap with double white-spaces and other non printable characters.
