Since r1706789 (POI 3.14 beta 1)

In the attached example, all columns have the same style.

Columns A:C have the same width, and get grouped together with sheet.groupColumns(0, 2). The group is uncollapsed.

For columns E:G, column F has a different width. When grouping these columns, only the first 2 columns are grouped, and the column group is collapsed.

sheet1.xml:
>  <cols>
>    <col min="1" max="5" width="13.42578125" style="1" customWidth="1"/>
>    <col min="6" max="6" width="31.7109375" style="1" customWidth="1"/>
>    <col min="7" max="7" width="13.42578125" style="1" customWidth="1"/>
>  </cols>

After executing the following code:
Workbook wb = WorkbookFactory.create(new File("59932.xlsx"));
Sheet sheet = wb.getSheetAt(0);
sheet.groupColumn(0, 2);
sheet.groupColumn(4, 6);
wb.write(new FileOutputStream("59932 after.xlsx"));
wb.close();

This is what POI writes:
>  <cols>
>    <col min="1" max="3" customWidth="true" style="1" width="13.42578125" collapsed="false" outlineLevel="1"/>
>    <col min="4" max="4" customWidth="true" style="1" width="13.42578125" collapsed="true"/>
>    <col min="5" max="5" customWidth="true" style="1" width="13.42578125" collapsed="false" outlineLevel="1"/>
>    <col min="6" max="6" customWidth="true" style="1" width="31.7109375" collapsed="false" outlineLevel="1"/>
>    <col min="6" max="7" collapsed="false" outlineLevel="1"/>
>    <col min="7" max="7" customWidth="true" style="1" width="13.42578125" collapsed="false"/>
>  </cols>

Should be:
>  <cols>
>    <col min="1" max="3" width="13.42578125" style="1" customWidth="1" outlineLevel="1"/>
>    <col min="4" max="4" width="13.42578125" style="1" customWidth="1"/>
>    <col min="5" max="5" width="13.42578125" style="1" customWidth="1" outlineLevel="1"/>
>    <col min="6" max="6" width="31.7109375" style="1" customWidth="1" outlineLevel="1"/>
>    <col min="7" max="7" width="13.42578125" style="1" customWidth="1" outlineLevel="1"/>
>  </cols>

File to reproduce maybe the same error

Hi,
I have also the problem that the function groupColumn not working correctly.
And the size of the columns are also not correct after groupColumn.

If I call groupColumn after changing the size of the columns I have the problem.
If I call groupColumn before changing the size of the columns it seems to be good.

In my application it is very difficult to change the position of the function call.

I have tested the current version 3.16.

I ran into the same mistake. 
First use groupColumn, then setColumnWidth and it works.
The order is important.

version 4.0.1
