hey I was wondering if there's anyway to disable that horizonata
"snapping" that happens with the columns. It's especially annoying if
want to have a column wider than my screen, since it doesn't let m
scroll over it instead jumps to the next column and I can't read th
end of the very wide column I have open. Thanks in advance

I know exactly what you're talking about. I don't think there's a way
to disable that behavior, but I use some workarounds. What kind of data
are you storing in that column? Why does it need to be so wide?

some possible workarounds
- you can left align that column
- if you only need to see 1 row at a time, you can just look in the
"edit formula cell" while you have the cell selected
- make column narrower and use word wrap.

Change the Zoom percentage so you can get the entire column in your screen.
