Hello,

Today I realized that Org table columns without width cookies get
auto-shrunk on hitting TAB:

As far as I remember, the cookie-less columns did not shrink on TAB that
way, when this feature got introduced.

Here's a minimal example:

=====
#+title: Width cookies present only on columns that need to be shrunk
#+startup: shrink

|----------+----------------------------------------------------------|
|          | <15>                                                     |
| Column 1 | Column 2                                                 |
|----------+----------------------------------------------------------|
|        1 | Some content that's longer than the column width cookie. |
|----------+----------------------------------------------------------|
=====

It looks like this on startup:

Upon hitting TAB with point in row 1, col 1, it becomes:

C-h c TAB shows that <tab> is bound to org-cycle (as expected).

I believe this is a bug. Can this please be fixed?
