[reportlab-users] Column widths when not specified

I posted a very similar question yesterday. I'm afraid your question
might contain the answer already. After tweaking my test sample (see
attached) I conclude that automatic column width spacing does not
work as soon as flowables (including Paragraphs) are used. If so,
then I guess the workaround is to declare the column widths manually.
Of course, then the question arrises if this cannot be automated?
