--- Comment #7 from Amalia Constantin <[email protected]> --- The identified issue is that the Variable option does not behave as expected when the cell width is changed, table size is not changed as expected. Variable behavior is the same as the one encountered for the Fixed option. Used documentation to clarify expected behavior. Documentation link available here: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-GB/text/swriter/guide/tablemode.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN Note that these properties are valid only for changes to the column width that are made using the keyboard. Using the mouse, you are free to make any column width changes. To set the Behavior of rows/columns options for tables in text documents, choose Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - Table. There are three display modes for tables: • Fixed - changes only affect the adjacent cell, and not the entire table. For example, when you widen a cell, the adjacent cell becomes narrower, but the width of the table remains constant. • Fixed, proportional - changes affect the entire table, and wide cells shrink more than narrow cells. For example, when you widen a cell, the adjacent cells become proportionally narrower, but the width of the table remains constant. • Variable - changes affect the table size. For example, when you widen a cell, the width of the table increases. To Change the Width of a Cell by keyboard, documentation link available here: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-GB/text/swriter/guide/table_sizing.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN Hold down Alt+Ctrl, and then press the left or the right arrow key. Steps to reproduce 1. New text document, create table (e.g. 5 columns x 4 rows) 2. Tools - Options - Libre Office Writer - Table - Behavior of rows/columns - Check Fixed - OK 3. Click on a cell at the interior of the table and use the CTRL+ALT+left/right arrow key to widen and narrow the cell => only the adjacent cell adjusts its width => as expected 4. Tools - Options - Libre Office Writer - Table - Behavior of rows/columns - Check Fixed, proportional - OK 5. Click on a cell at the interior of the table and use the CTRL+ALT+left/right arrow key to widen and narrow the cell => the adjacent cell adjust their width proportionally, but the width of the table remains constant => as expected 6. Tools - Options - Libre Office Writer - Table - Behavior of rows/columns - Variable - OK 7. Click on a cell at the interior of the table and use the CTRL+ALT+left/right arrow key to widen and narrow the cell => the adjacent cell adjusts their width, but the table size it is not increased - NOT as expected. This behavior is identical to the fixed one, when in fact it should increase the table size, as specified in the documentation. Video available in attachment Column width behavior.mp4. The issue was reproduced on the following configuration.
