Hello,

I have come to this discussion late, but I totally agree with Kaushal,
whose use of tables almost mirrors my own. 

    Kaushal> I didn't understand the root reason for this change. If one
    Kaushal> doesn't like using the column width cookies, then they can
    Kaushal> choose to not use those.

Agreed!

      >> Moreover, I'm pretty sure you don't review every table in
      >> your document at the second it is opened.

I do review every table immediately the org file is opened because this
is my working document. The file only contains a single table of 10
columns and hundreds of rows.

    Kaushal> I can only request to please retain this feature; for the
    Kaushal> sake of people who like it.

Agreed!

There may be other solutions, but I wouldn't get paid searching for them.

Column cookies work - and they work well for me - so why on earth remove
something that is actually *useful*?

Sincerely,

Colin.
