The mandatory default summary column includes seemingly unnecessary leading empty space.

I have multiple structure boards in a two-column jira dashboard enabling quick overview of my daily tasks. The horizontal space is therefore very precious and I use a separate "compact" view showing only priority, id, summary, and perhaps status of the issues.

There is currently no possibility to make the summary column more compact, since the summary column cannot be deleted or minimized to make room for a custom one.

The leading whitespace seems to be caused by <span class="s-expander s-fa"></span>. I suggest either removing this whitespace completely if it turns out to be superfluous. Otherwise I see two options:

1) Making the summary column removable (there are probably good reasons against this?)

2) Introducing something like the "compact" option available with the issue ID.
