Hi all,
I’m seeing that in org 9.2.1 (from org-plus-contrib 20190225) tables
are not respecting column-width specifications. For example, if I create
the following table
| Header 1 |
| <10> |
| This column should be truncated to 10 characters |
When I align it in org 9.1.9, I get the following:
| Header 1 |
| <10> |
| This col=> |
But when I align it in 9.2.1, I get
| Header 1 |
| <10> |
| This column should be truncated to 10 characters |
Alignment specifications *do* work as expected. It just appears that
column-width specs are being ignored.
Is anyone else seeing this issue?
Best,
Galen

Oops, forgot to include verbatim markers.
For the following table
```
| Header 1 |
| <10> |
| This column should be truncated to 10 characters |
```
When I align it in org 9.1.9, the column display is truncated as
expected:
```
| Header 1 |
| <10> |
| This col=> |
```
But when I align it in 9.2.1, the column width is not affected, and I
get
```
| Header 1 |
| <10> |
| This column should be truncated to 10 characters |
```
Thanks,
Galen

Narrowing columns is decoupled from alignment. Use `C-c <TAB>` to shrink
or expand it.

Ah I missed that. Works fine as you describe — thanks!
