[O] Org table columns without width cookies get shrunk on TAB

[Kaushal Modi]

Hello,

Today I realized that Org table columns without width cookies get auto-shrunk on hitting TAB:

As far as I remember, the cookie-less columns did not shrink on TAB that way, when this feature got introduced.

Here's a minimal example:

=====
#+title: Width cookies present only on columns that need to be shrunk
#+startup: shrink

|----------+----------------------------------------------------------|
|          | <15>                                                     |
| Column 1 | Column 2                                                 |
|----------+----------------------------------------------------------|
|        1 | Some content that's longer than the column width cookie. |
|----------+----------------------------------------------------------|
=====

It looks like this on startup:

Upon hitting TAB with point in row 1, col 1, it becomes:

C-h c TAB shows that <tab> is bound to org-cycle (as expected).

Org version (master branch): Org mode version 9.1.6 (release_9.1.6-463-g551d2f @ /home/kmodi/usr_local/apps/6/emacs/emacs-26/share/emacs/site-lisp/org/) -- https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/commit/551d2f1fe7ad797806ed51c63d45553ef1d6a777

Emacs version: 26.0.91

I believe this is a bug. Can this please be fixed?
