            Bug ID: 138362
           Summary: Cursor shape must change to indicate which cell is
                    resized for hidden columns
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needsUXEval
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Hovering the mouse cursor over the headers' separator line that contains hidden
columns, depending on the mouse position over the separator, you may
click-and-resize either the visible column to the left of the separator, or the
rightmost hidden column (making it visible).

Steps:
1. In a spreadsheet, select columns B-E, right-click in the selected header
area, and click "Hide Columns".
2. Hover the mouse over the boldened vertical separator between "A" and "F".
It's uniform when you hover there (in my theme, it's just <->).
3. When it's in the leftmost position where it's still <->, click-and-drag
  => see that this resizes column A when you release the mouse
4. Repeat 2, and click-and-drag when it's in the *rightmost* position still
showing <->
  => see that it resizes (unhides) column E

The problem is, that there's no visual indication to distinguish between 3 and
4 before you click, drag and release.

In MS Excel, for instance, the mouse cursor changes between <-|-> (for 3) and
<-||-> (for 4).
