Indeed - thank you!

But since no good deed shall go unpunished, here's another related
problem I ran into: with shrunk columns, I add a few more rows to the
table with S-RET on the first column, recalculate to populate the
added rows and then do an undo. That undoes the results of the
recalculation but it also unshrinks the column.

Thanks again!
