Barış, did you create a trac ticket for this?

Hello,

When I create a table, I can define the column width for single column 
successfully: Right-click on the table, Setting and Column Width.


However, this approach does not work if multiple columns are selected. 
It places double lines and changes the width of the last column. It is 
clearly a bug to me.


Wonder if anybody else observe the same thing.


Hello,

This is indeed a missing feature, probably not too difficult to 
implement. However, it would change all the setting of the selected 
columns at once (alignment, etc.). Changing only the width, for example, 
would require much more work UI-wise.


Could you please create a ticket on http://www.lyx.org/trac, so that we 
do not forget about it?

I see the same thing, provided the cursor is in the last column. I'm not sure 
it's a bug, though. The column width change applies to the column in which the 
cursor is positioned, regardless of what is highlighted. As for the lines, bear 
in mind that clicking OK or Apply applies the information in all three tabs of 
the dialog to the selected portion of the table, where applicable. In 
particular, the Borders tab will show the borders set for the cell in which the 
cursor is position, and those borders will be assigned to the highlighted 
cells. Try it with the cursor in a column other than the last one to see the 
effect of this.

Thanks for your reply Paul. This is the case if I want to adjust the width of 
multiple columns (or all columns). In the current LyX, if you want to do that 
you need to do it for each column one-by-one. This gets time-consuming, since 
most of the time, you need to do this many times to get the right width. 
Intuitively, I would expect that if I select multiple columns and set the 
width, all the selected columns will have the same width.

On the other hand, I got your point. The GUI is prepared for the parameters of 
“tabular” of LaTeX, and it is not for the general purpose of table (like MS 
Word). Addition of GUI tab that can adjust tablewide properties or properties 
of the selected items may be a useful thing…

Thanks again.

Table Column Width Does Not Work for Multiple Columns

Hello,
