In the *Porcess List* buffer, if tabulated-list-widen-column is called
on the second or the third column, both columns end up widening.  The
same thing happens in columns 5 and 6 as well (although it is currently
bugged due to bug#53498).

This can be replicated as follows:
0. emacs -Q
1. M-x shell
2. M-x list-processes
3. C-x o
4. M-f M-f
5. }

It is possible that this is not a bug in process itself but I have seen
nothing else that could be the problem.

Hm, very odd.  I wondered whether it was somehow increasing the widths
of two columns, but:

(cl-incf (cadr (aref tabulated-list-format 1)))
(tabulated-list-print t)

demonstrates this problem.

It seems like tabulated-list-print is itself increasing the width of the
subsequent column?  Hm, yes.  No!  It's a matter of a shared list?

[("Process" 15 . #1=(t)) ("PID" . #2=(10 . #1#)) ("Status" . #2#) ("Buffer" 26 . #1#) ("TTY" . #3=(11 . #1#)) ("Thread" . #3#) ("Command" 0 . #1#)]

Yes, PID and Status share lists.

Right, the problem is that process-menu-mode uses a constant here, and
tabulated-list-mode mutates that, and that's undefined.  Now fixed in
Emacs 29.
