Hi skelem,
Your problem is reproducible. In fact, it is the standard behaviour for tables
in OOo (either 1.1x or 2.x series). The "whole table" alignment setting is not a
property of the table (so it will stay centered whatever resizing you perform on
the table), but a command. After a alignment setting, if you change the size,
width, of the table, moving columns, the alignment revert to "manual". The
preserved magnitude is teh position of the left border of the table, from thedre
colums are added and end as dictated by the sum of columns widths.
This was so in 1.1.x, on linux and Windows. So this is not a bug.
However, I understand your surprise. If a text paragraph is set as "centered"
then if you type more words they move to maintain line centered. The paragraph
is not reverted to "left".
I do agree that tables should behave in the same way. Whether columns get wider
or thinner, the alignment of the whole table must be preserved, changing the
position of the left and right borders of the table as needed.
This is an RFE; a request for enhancement.
The motivations for the RFE are two:
a) maintaining the consistency of the interface: This is the way tables will
behave as text lines. Now they are different (frustrating expectatives)
b) the improvement of usability: in this way reformating a table will requiere
less manual work. Now after each change to any column width it is needed to
manually re-set the alignment attibute.
