Description pier 2012-05-01 04:14:15 UTC 
Problem description: on my suse 12.1 kde 4.8.2 libo from opensuse repos
when table is selected you cannot change column width and roe height with mouse on the border of column, only when table is NOT selected the mouse change in the two horizontal or vertical arrows shape that allows to change the column width.
Steps to reproduce:
1. ....create a table
2. ....hoover over the mouse on a border of table and change the column width or the row height
3. ....ok, you can change them
4. ....select the table
5. ....hoover over the mouse on a border of table, you cannot change the column width or the row height.

Current behavior:mouse don't change shape and column width and row height cannot be changed

Expected behavior:the mouse change shape in two horizontal or vertical arrows and the change of width and height is possible

true that is not possible; looks like "enhancement" to me.

This still exists as a bug on 4.2.1.1. Even the tooltip when hovering over the column line says 'Adjust table column' so clearly this isn't working as it is supposed to.

Repro 7.1+

Repro in recent master build:

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 47ca3f1f762352b488d58b3bf23d5776576f1cca
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Even with a one-cell selection, can't resize anywhere on the table.

Same in OOo 3.3, so inherited.
