I thought as you do that they were annoying... until I saw that unwanted
feature: I have a 2 columns wide table, explicit size etc. They are
displayed properly, but if I start editing the value on the 2nd column,
the view is shifted to the right, so this 2nd column goes to the left,
and I have a blank column appearing (I should say "a white area of the
size of a column")... the easy way to get back to my original view is to
use the scroll bar...
