Current behavior
Currently there are three ways of column distribution: force, standard and flex.

Expected behavior
Expect the column width flexible to the widest cell in the whole column. For example:

Reproduction of the problem

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
As the images show, in standard and force mode, there are always hidden cells while in flex mode the format is not clear.

I'm not sure this is possible given virtual scrolling.

Does that mean that you either have same width columns, or you have to explicitly set a width to each column?

A normal html table will pr. default make the columns as slim as possible - I would expect this to be the default behaviour for a datatable as well?

I've seen it done with virtual scrolling by increasing the width when it witnesses a bigger width.

@amcdnl have you come to a conclusion on this matter?
This is the only part that's leaving me a bit worried about using ngx-datatable on my project.
Do you confirm that in virtualscrolling mode you can't do auto-width in relation to the columns content?
