Hello. I am a frequent Lyx user and first of all would like to thank the team for this wonderful software!
It usually deals with tables very well, but I noticed that setting column width may yield a correct PDF output but an incorrect display on screen in the User Interface. More precisely, selecting a cell in the last column of my table hides the first one and part of the second, making it difficult to figure out my location in the table. I saw that adding horizontal scroll bars in tables had been discussed at some point (http://wiki.lyx.org/GSoC/HorizontalScrollbar), but I was wondering about its progress.Moreover, I also looked at Local Layouts, but could not figure out how to manually set the size of the columns in the user interface. Actually, what I would like to do is to set the column width on the user interface on the one hand, and to keep on setting it for Latex through the standard dialog box on the other, so that even though the display in the UI is not exactly what it will be in the output doc (which is in fact already the case as of today), the document is easily edited in the UI and correctly generated. Do you think this is feasible easily with the current Lyx version (I'm using 2.1.2 on Debian)? Thanks in advance, Regards, Gilles
