            Bug ID: 99864
           Summary: trying to change column width in table affects only
                    single row - no way to handle more than one row at a
                    time.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.0.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org

This document has tables in it where I can reproduce the bug

I am running 5.0.6.3 writer (normally using german language interface).
I have a table and I found that the column width were inappropriate.
I tried to change the column width. I was always directed to the table
properties pane (after selecting the entire table or selecting just a column or
what ever I tried). There is a tab for columns. I try to enter my desired
values - strange things happened. More on this below.

The only procedure that did what I wanted is tedious and certainly not
intended:
Place cursor in one of the rows of the table, go to table properties /columns
choose modify table width, start with setting values for columns where the
width is reduced and only then make some columns wider - never overuse your
width-budget. enter ok ->: result is that in the row where the curser was the
cell width is changed as desired. ... Repeat that procedure for every row.

Strange effects observed: 

- after changing one width value other values were changed to strange values
positiv ones, negative ones, measurements far beyond paper size.

- after klicking ok the row showed what looked to me like combined cells and in
a subsequent invocation of table properties fewer columns were shown.

- change a width value (whithout setting option to change table width) always
changes the value of the next column, normally spoiling a previous correct
value. If there was a defined column to fill the gap maintaining table width I
could correct values without spoiling correct ones.

I hope you can reproduce the effects with the submitted odt. If there is a
problem reproducing strange effects I certainly can give more precise
directions.
