Description xylamouf 2005-03-04 19:12:57 UTC 
- Create a table width only one column
- Go to one of the UI function : Table>Autofit>Column width or
Context-menu-for-table>Column>Width
- Set a new column width
- Validate
- No changes at all !!!!

MRU->OS: when a table only consists of one column (wether the alignment is
automatic or manual),  it is not possible to change the width via Autofit/column
dialog.

I successfully replicated the bug following xylamouf's steps on:

- Windows XP SP2, OOo 2.0.1
- Linux (Red Hat 7.3, kernel 2.4.31), OOo 2.0


Additional notes: It's also impossible to resize the width of table of two or
more columns.

1. Create a table with two columns
2. Menu INSERT->TABLE->OK (default size of columns and rows should be two)
3. Select-Focus the entire table (Drag the mouse and select all 4 cells)
4. Menu TABLE->AUTOFIT->COLUMN WIDTH and set the width to 1"

Expected output: all four cells of the table become cells of width 1"

But instead only the left cells reduced their size to 1", while the right cells
become wider.

Same problem happens with table of 3 or more columns, only 1 column changes size.

Well, it IS possible to adapt column width of a single column table, but the proceeding is bumpy, without logic, unpredictable  with "AOO 4.1.0 Release – German UI / German locale [AOO410m18(Build:9764)  -   Rev. 1589052 2014-04-22 11:43:54]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", “historic” 4. User Profile used for all predecessor versions:

1. New Writer document with 1 column 2 rows Table
2. Table: 'Rightclick -> Table -> Table -> Alignemnt (radio button) = from left'
3. 'Columns (Tab) -> Adjust Table width = on -> Column width = 10mm 
   -> [ok]'
   > Table with column width 10mm at the right.

But many other attempts will fail
