I have a table with column width cookies. I shrink the columns with
C-u C-c TAB and then I recalculate with C-c C-c on the #TBLFM
line. The columns then get expanded and I have to do the C-u C-c TAB
again after every recalculation. Is there a way to have the columns
stay shrunk?
Example: An unsolved problem in number theory: for what values of n
is n! - 1 a prime?
| n | n! -1 | prime? |

Thanks!

Fixed. Thank you.

Indeed - thank you!
But since no good deed shall go unpunished, here's another related
problem I ran into: with shrunk columns, I add a few more rows to the
table with S-RET on the first column, recalculate to populate the
added rows and then do an undo. That undoes the results of the
recalculation but it also unshrinks the column.
Thanks again!

Yes, undo unshrinks. This is a good thing as one might not notice undone
changes within a shrunk column.
Also, AFAIK, there is no elegant way (i.e., not writing `org-undo') to
circumvent the issue, if it is considered as such.
