Some additional comments

1. Automatic table size is the default setting.
2. With automatic table width. Adjust table width & adjust columns
proportionally are disabled. Result being that everything keeps adapting.. as
the table width must stay the same. 
3. Currently there is UI glitch which doesn't update fields on the fly. So
typing 2, tab, 2 tab, 2, followed by enter.. will give different result
compared to the dialog

Adapt table width is also not totally consequent. Assuming table width of 12 cm
(on a4 page) with 2 columns with adapt table width checked.

Type 8 | 8 for columns & press OK -> Table size increase (fine to 16 cm)
Type 12| 12 for columns & press OK -> Table size is capped (to max 17). And
distribution appears. Unexpected IMHO
Type 5 | 5 for columns & press OK -> Table size shrinks to specifications

The same 'cap' as by table width is applied for Adjust columns proportionally
(which makes sense, as  Adapt table width is checked)

I would propose three radio buttons (see also bug 139098)
* Circular (default automatic); honoring table width. * Adapt table width
(without cap) * Proportional distribution honoring table width

Where Adapt table width will also change the table size setting from automatic
to Left. And would like also a label which should what the total width would be
(lazy adding up the size of multiple columns)

Only a direction.. maybe someone should look the competitors?
