Let me try to suggest a "compromise suggestion", which may satisfy both @John's
initial expectation and agree with what you (@JustinL) have written.

I believe John was expecting a rebalancing of widths based on that fact that he
had not explicitly set the width of any column, nor done anything else to
countermand his initial expressed wish of equi-distributed columns. So, one
could argue that, for the special case of columns whose last width setting was
an equi-distribution, a deletion could be expected to equi-distribute among the
remaining columns; but in any other situation, only the two surrounding columns
would gain width as is the current behavior.

I'm personally of two minds regarding what I would feel meets my expectations
as a user.

Anyway, rephrased the title to better express what John seems to ask for.
