Current behavior
Today, when I use column flex mode and when I shrink the screen, the columns overlap each other.

Currently I'm using the columns the following way:

let columns = [
            { entity: 'Envolvido', name: 'Nome', prop: path + 'dadosPessoais.nome', minWidth: 30,  },
            { entity: 'Envolvido', name: 'Nome Fantasia', prop: path + 'dadosPessoais.nomeFantasia', minWidth: 30 },
            { entity: 'Envolvido', name: 'CNPJ', prop: path + 'dadosPessoais.documentoIdentificacao.cpfCnpj', minWidth: 300 },
            { entity: 'Envolvido', name: 'UF', prop: path + 'dadosPessoais.endereco.uf.sigla', minWidth: 300 },
            { entity: 'Envolvido', name: 'Município', prop: path + 'dadosPessoais.endereco.municipio.nome', minWidth: 300 }
        ];

 <ngx-datatable #table 
      class="material" 
      [rows]="rows" 
      [columns]="columns"
      [selected]="selected"
      [selectionType]="'checkbox'" 
      [columnMode]="'flex'"
      [headerHeight]="50"
      [rowHeight]="45" 
      [footerHeight]="50" 
      [externalPaging]="true" 
      [count]="page.totalElements" 
      [offset]="page.pageNumber"
      [limit]="page.size"
      [scrollbarH]="true"
      (page)='setPage($event)' 
      (select)='onSelect($event)'>

Expected behavior
I'd like to set a minWidth to the columns, for when I resize/shrink the screen, the columns keep with the min width.

Reproduction of the problem

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
The number of columns of my table will change dynamically, so when the number of columns is wide enough it will be set to the min width.

Please tell us about your environment:

• Table version: 0.8.x
  

• Angular version: 2.0.x
