As noted in the review comments, all of these column fields must be
removed when Widgets are changed into Views. See
https://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/designer-ui-file-format.html, the column
element in specific to the Widget type:

    <xs:complexType name="Widget">
     ...
      <xs:element name="column" type="Column"  minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />

Keep in mind that when moving the columns to the code, you must add tr()
calls to keep strings translatable.
