Hi When I add a column in a Writer-Table, all columns are changed in size and the table overall size is kept constant. However, according to the preferences, if I use setting "variable", the table overall size should change and the other columns should be kep in the same size. The setting of Preferences/Writer/Table is not having any effect. Expected behaviour: "Fixed" should change the direct neibor cell, overall width stays constant "Fixed, Proportional" should change all cells, overall width stays constant "Variabl" inserting a column should not affect width of other cells, table size increases. Reality: Always like "Fixed, proportional"
The Options▸Writer▸Table settings are actually under Keyboard Handling option group. And as such, they manage how Writer's keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Alt+arrow keys) operate on table row/column sizes. Use table properties (its alignment) to control what you need. Closing NOTABUG. (Ref.: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/232930/)
