Table formatting in Writer could benefit from the option to have the table 
automatically adjust its column widths -- based on cell contents -- dynamically 
while the user is typing. This behaviour would be the same as for HTML tables 
being displayed the average web browser, where columns containing cells with a 
lot of text become proportionally wider automatically, so as to make the table 
take up the minimum amount of vertical space.

The Optimal Column Width function in Writer does not appear to provide for 
this, as it does not adapt the column widths while the user types, does not 
appear to ever reduce a column in size if its cell content spans multiple lines 
already, and does not affect columns other than the one it is called on.

(I believe this has been raised in the past, but I wasn't able to find a 
feature request for it in this system, open, closed or otherwise; if this is a 
duplicate I apologise.)
