This is indeed a bug, even if a longstanding one. From bug reporting guidance
on the ODF Wiki: "Confirm that it really is a bug. [...] This includes the
software [...] doing what you never asked it to do [...]." This behavior is not
documented at the help page for row and column resizing either.

No practical workaround has been offered. A reasonable workflow in Calc is the
following:
1. Hide multiple column ranges that are needed for calculations but not
interesting to see.
2. Click the top-right left corner to select all cells and change the column
width.
2a. This changes the width of all columns, as expected.
2b. This automatically shows all hidden columns although I never asked for
this.
3. The column ranges which used to be hidden are still uninteresting, so I have
to hide them again one-by-one. This takes a lot of time.

Step 2b shouldn't happen and step 3 shouldn't be necessary!

The link offered by m_a_riosv is not helpful either: 1. The described bug
affects groups of rows or columns too. 2. Multiple column ranges cannot be put
into one group.
