Well, the easiest solution is to restrict the number of characters that are going to be displayed on each columns. So If the value that is going to be displayed greater that the fixed size say 50, then add additional control dynamically or make visible if exist and once you do that will show the whole content as tooltip in this control.

Note: The more shows the whole content of the column value.

Am I looking at the same picture?

That looks to me as if each and every row is the same size. Just to be sure, I pasted it into Paint Shop Pro, and checked: every row is the exact same height and width.

Does one of us need our eyes testing, or am I missing something?

Do you mean gridview text needs be to justified? If yes, try to use following CSS for gridview column:

.JustifyStyle{
    text-align: justify
}
