--- Comment #13 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalroz1 at gmx.com> ---
I support the request change as per the bug title, because:

1. Hidden should mean hidden, i.e. the sheet presents as though the column did
not exist. Otherwise it's effectively width-0.

2. Like Heiko mentioned in comment #6, MSO parity

I am not worried about breakage, for two reasons:

1. Whoever uses hidden columns must expect users to sometimes unhide the
columns, and plan for how their sheet will display when that happens.

2. Whoever uses hidden columns should expect the file to also work in MS Excel,
where the behavior is different.

3. One can achieve the width-0 before with a literal width-0, non-hidden,
column, so the breakage can be rectified relatively easily.
