Table columns cannot be resized (except the last one)
📝 Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)
- Insert a new table with at least 2 columns.
- Try resizing any other column than the last one.
Expected: This column can be made larger.
Actual: I first have to resize the last column and only then can resize the next ones to the left. If I have 6 columns and I want to resize the leftmost one, I have to resize 6 of them one by one. This is a really bad UX.
I stumbled upon this when working on #14292.

Interestingly, when I test this here: https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/tables/tables-resize.html, the newly inserted table is narrow (takes minimal width).
If I test it on the pst version of the docs (https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/34.1.0/features/table.html#table-column-resize) the table has 100% width. And this makes the issue nearly invisible.
So, this would explain why at least I didn't notice this.
I also tested that GDocs behave exactly like CKE5. But they insert a wide table by default. Same for MSWord.
So we're 100% aligned with what GDocs and Word do. IDK if this is a good UX (doesn't seem so), but I'm also aware that I may not see the whole picture.
But then, both GDocs and MSWord insert a 100% width table by default. Shouldn't we do the same? If so, always or only when the ColumnResize plugin is enabled?
