BBCode tables do not persist column width between editing sessions

Cell width tags in BBCode tables do not persist between editing sessions. I'm putting width tags in the cells in the top row of the table to control the width of the columns. If I go to view the page, and then go back to edit the page and look at the BBCode, the width values in the cell tags are now gone.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an article 2. Make a BBCode table 3. Set column widths by using the tag in each of the cells in the top row 4. Publish the article and view it 5. Press the "Edit Article" button at the top of the page 6. Look at the BBCode for the table 7. Notice the width numbers are now missing (The tags are now just )

Here is the BBCode of a table from an article of mine that I'm seeing this with (it seems like the editor here in this bug report page might be having the same issue. If the tags in the top row lose their width values, the code is as follows, substitutine curly brackets for square ones): {tr}{td:10}{b}Wealth Tier{/b}{/td} {td:25}{b}NPCs at this tier{/b}{/td} {td:20}{b}{right}Cash available on short notice{/right}{/b}{/td} {td:45}{b}Goods at this price level / Things a person at this level may own{/b}{/td} {/tr}

Hi, this is because the WYSIWYG article editor does not support the table column width option. Switch to the Euclid editor or stay in source mode if you want to use them.
