Default adding a comment changes column width

Reviewing a file with four tables on the page for a colleague, and mildly suggested that four identical tables (part n°, description, quantity) will look smarter if the column widths are the same :-} I adjusted the column widths with Table properties > Cell > Preferred width and was happy that the page did indeed end up looking smarter and more convincing.


But … when I added a comment to the first resized cell, this changed the width of the column. Is this just "the way things happen"?

Did you uncheck the 'Automatically resize to fit contents' option?

Table Tools>Layout>Properties>Options.
