Hello,
The pretty print in the find buffer doesn't line up the columns, see
=> https://sdf.org/~van.ly/img/emacs-30-0-91-pretest-find-buffer.jpeg
To reproduce on 1080p display, do
1. emacs -Q
2. apply, M-x find-name-dired RET
3. target at a srcdir like NetBSD-10 and toggle fullscreen
Expect to see columns line up in pretty print.
