<pre>Description:
Currently, “adapt table width” isn’t active by default. This leads to the
problem, that each time we modify the width of one row, the next one is
affected exactly inverse by default, too.
This is a very bad practice, because in by far the most cases, one doesn’t want
to affect the next column inversely. This gets extremely cumbersome, in case
you want to narrow the first column, but widen the fifth one. Then you have to
edit the first column, then iterate through every column unto the fifth and
retain their width (because they all get altered by each step), and then
finally alter the fifth one (or activate the here proposed to be standard
mode).
So I’d like this aforementioned setting to be enabled by default – but it seems
that alignment needs to be different from “automatic”, too. I suppose centered
is the mostly reasonable case here.
Furthermore, I don’t quite understand what “automatic alignment” should mean?
Is far as I understand it, “stretched” or “spanned” seem to be better terms for
describing this setting.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a table.
2. Alter the width of one column of the table.
Actual Results:
Another column gets altered, even if nobody triggered this change.
Expected Results:
Other columns shouldn’t be affected.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
