Nice to know that someone is using the narrow columns. Yes, this is not yet correct, in particular on XEmacs. I think this does work on Emacs, because Emacs carries the invisibility properties correctly along and even respects them when printing. OK, it is on my list of things to fix. > > Now that I think of it, it would be nice if table column widths were > collapsed at the first entry of a .org file.

In large org-files with many tables, this may cause a noticeable delay when visiting an org-file because all tables are re-aligned. I guess I could limit this to only tables with a cookie, then it could be a bit faster. - Carsten
