Description Emmanuel Pacaud 2006-10-03 20:46:07 UTC 
Enter =rand() in the first cell -> first column is resized.

This behaviour is new and was not here int the 1.6 serie.
I'm not sure it's wanted. At least it's inconsistant with the following:

Enter =rand() in the first cell
Copy
Paste in the first cell of the second column

-> The second column isn't resized.

> Enter =rand() in the first cell -> first column is resized.

This is intentional.  It also has the effect, that if you enter 10-Dec-2006
in a blank sheet, you don't get ######.

I'm not sure if the paste you autosize, though.
Comment 2 Emmanuel Pacaud 2006-10-04 07:24:46 UTC 
It should expends only if the formated value doesn't fit in the cell, no ?
Which is not the case with rand().

XL has the same mechanism, and doesn't expend when entering rand in a cell.
Comment 3 Andreas J. Guelzow 2010-08-13 08:55:02 UTC 
What is the bug here?

We want to resize the first column when entering =rand(). (Not ethat that doesn't happen f the first column has be sized to a specific width.)

We should do the same with the second column when pasting there. So the bug is that we don't do that.
Comment 4 Andreas J. Guelzow 2010-08-14 06:01:44 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
