It might be confusing otherwise, e.g., if you edit a narrow column, which suddenly expands because a very large column below. > Create a new table and shrink to a specified column width with=20 > C-u C-c TAB: > > | <15> =E2=80=A6| > | one =E2=80=A6| > | two is a longer=E2=80=A6| > > Move point to the second cell and delete the "e" in "one": > > | <15> | > | on | > | two is a longer cell | > > The entire column expands, even though this action is not necessary to > perform the edit (annoying if the column contains other cells with text > longer than the window width). I cannot reproduce it. It used to be that way in an old implementation of shrunk columns, but I don't think it is the case anymore. Regards, --=20 Nicolas Goaziou
