This could be a old bug or a new one.
I had noticed the widget, but frankly, I never used it. I have always just dragged the separator.
Dragging the separator is the hard way.
We’ve all experienced the column that expands to ridiculous widths. Most often, this is because it wants to accommodate its longest filename. But, just as often, it will expand purely to annoy us.
The way to reduce the width instantly has always been to double-click the handle (not really a widget) that appears at the bottom of every separator. That is… until Tahoe destroyed it.
Maybe I just don’t understand what you’re saying. If I double-click on the divider, doesn’t that accomplish the same thing as clicking the widget?

Nope. Are you saying that this is behavior has been added to Tahoe?
I see it here on this 26.2 MBP.

I think you only really bump into this issue if you have scroll bar appearance set to “always”, as I and the author of the link do.
Compare the first two screenshots in the link. The little parallel lines that you click or grab to resize are hidden by the horizontal slider. This only applies when the horizontal slider needs to appear in the scrollbar of course. This has been really bugging me.
If you don’t have scroll bars set to “always” (as presumably you don’t) then the option to grab or double click the divider line anywhere works. I shall leave scroll bars off for now as this is much preferable.
The bug is fixed in 26.3
