I didn't understand the root reason for this change. If one doesn't like
using the column width cookies, then they can choose to not use those.

Even if I don't review all the tables in the document, presentation is also
what matters. I'd like to see neatly aligned tables that fit within the
screen than having those clipped or badly wrapped. It's the same reason why
one would choose to auto-fill in Org documents vs not; because functionally
that doesn't matter too.

I can only request to please retain this feature; for the sake of people
who like it.

That's understood.
I cannot implement any of you suggestions.
That's understood too. I am just voicing an opinion to retain the column
width cookie feature.
