First, I Autofit a set of columns. Then I select the columns and do
View Fit Selection. Often, some of the columns are no longer wide
enough. And if I subsequently Autofit the columns, the columns often
no longer fit within the view. Catch-22!

I work around the problem by doing the following. First, I Autofit
the columns. Then I select the columns __plus__ one (or two) more
column(s), and I do View Fit Selection. Then I Autofit the columns
again.

Is there a better way to make View Fit Selection work?

I use your workaround with just a single column--I make it as skinny as I can.
Then I don't worry if it gets chopped a bit.
