Bug ID: 159887
Summary: Add option to freeze column widths in Writer tables
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.4.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: will.fried...@gmail.com
Description:
When a column is added to a Writer table, all of the column widths change to
accommodate the new column. This is problematic if certain column widths have
been manually set and changing them is undesirable. There is currently no
option to freeze the width of a column in a Writer table to prevent it changing
if other columns are added or deleted.
My suggestion would be to add an option to Table Properties | Column under each
column, "freeze column width."
What if a user froze all the columns and then tried to add a new column? I can
think of two possibilities: 1) disable adding columns if all columns are
frozen; 2) if all but one column is marked frozen, disable the ability to
freeze the last column.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a table with multiple columns.
2. Manually adjust the width of some of the columns.
3. Insert a new column anywhere in the table.
4. See that the widths of all the columns change.
Actual Results:
Widths of all columns change.
Expected Results:
Allow the option to freeze the width of columns.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
