I'm running Excel 2010 x64 on Win 7 x64

For some reason, when I double click on the vertical grid line that separates the cells in the header row which contains the column letters, the column widths won't auto-size. I have to size them manually. This is happening with an xlsx file so there aren't any macros getting in the way.

This is only happening with a particular workbook, I looked in Excel options to see if there was a setting for this but I couldn't find one.

This is only happening on the first 8 columns (A - H). Double-clicking on columns J and beyond auto-sizes the column widths as I would expect.

Why would it refuse to auto-size these columns' widths? The columns in question contain text info like names, addresses, emails and phone numbers.

Thanks in advance for any tips or hints!

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
