Thank you – this is a welcome improvement.

OK, I see the value of indicating the column state like this when it's
shrunk to a width of 1 character and no cell content is visible (which,
BTW, is an great new feature).
But, the rest of the time, can't the indicator serve both purposes -
indicate a shrunken column and the presence of truncated cells - when it
is limited to places where text is hidden?
Granted, it might be less visible and it wouldn't appear on cells that
truncate only whitespace when shrunk, but IMO those are minor downsides.

If I can't convince you to restore the default, would you consider
adding the previous behaviour as a configurable option?
