--- Comment #4 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting:
+ WPS limits to 63 (Patrick)
+ it's still possible to add rows/columns before/after (Heiko)
+ just a performance issue, limitations are bad (Csongor)
+ show a warning per coloring the spin edit or per confirmation box
=> go with the colored warning

Taking Justin's comment into account we should warn starting with 64 columns
(and perhaps 255 rows?) with "Large tables might adverse performance and
compatibility". 

Some code pointer:

sw/source/ui/table/instable.cxx
m_xColNF->set_message_type(weld::EntryMessageType::Error/Normal)
