Hi,

Thanks for the reply. 
I noted the version on Windows 7
Version 4.0.2.2 (Build ID: 4c82dcdd6efcd48b1d8bba66bfe1989deee49c3)
then installed latest :
Version 4.0.4.2 (Build ID: 9e9821abd0ffdbc09cd8c52eaa574fa09eb08f2)
to reproduce the bug.



1) You're right removing the split solves the weird display. I'll check
tomorrow where the split was originally in the xlsx I recieved. 
Anyway, a split shouldn't look that bad ;) so it doesn't really solves the
issue.



2) It solves the issue. I didn't saw there was hidden columns, sorry.
In fact it is easy to unhide column A but it doesn't work well for columns H
and I; within a few pixels, you can :
a)- change the width of column G
b)- unhide column I
It doesn't seem possible to unhide H unless you unhide I before.
I don't remember if I tried to unhide yesterday and just a) occured.

I think the ergonomics of hide/unhide column should be improved.
Since we need handles to drag columns limits, I think whenever one or more
columns are hidden between two columns, there should be some icon.
Maybe just a small colored circle
                   _
or a triangle like V  (poor ascii art attempt :) )
above the limit between the two visible columns.

You could click this icon to expand a small "popup" of handles for hidden
columns.
Without using the "popup", the behavior would be unambiguous :
a)- change the width of column G
Using the "popup" would give more possibilities :
b)- unhide column I
c)- unhide column H

Alternatively, since the limit between G and J is already bold, one could click
the limit instead to open the popup (thus no icon would be required).

I have no idea if it can be easily done with current architecture of
LibreOffice (with jquery I would say piece of cake :) ).
Let me know what you think of it. I'll fill a feature request if you think it
could be done.

Best regards,
    Laurent
