A sample file to reproduce this issue

Steps:  

- Open the sample document.
- Select columns A and B
- Select > Table > Insert > Columns Before

Result: 

- The new columns have the same width as the previously existing columns on the table. Only the already existing columns have their width adjusted. 
So a user has to manually adjust them afterwards.

This seems a new case of bug 125736 which pointed to optons that do not work.
So we may also close as duplicate and add the case there.
