I created an outline of categories (level 1) and attributes (level 2), to which I've added a column for each "instance" (i.e., a collection of attribute values). The display looks a lot like a spreadsheet.

As I add instances, I have to increase the width of the OO window. I'm now at the point where the OO window is taking too much screen real estate. But when I narrow the OO window, the outline (1st column) is squeezed until it's a single character wide. After that, a horizontal scroll bar appears (because none of the other columns are squeezed.

Is the squeezing of the first (outline) column an OO feature? an OO bug? or something I can avoid or work around?
