Since the alignment of the text inside the second
row is centered, contrary to the rest of the tabular,
these cells are typeset inside \multicell, and in this
case their width can be independent from the width
of their column.

If you will keep the column width field in the settings empty,
they will have the same width as the rest of the column
(currently they have widths of 45% and 55% of \textwidth, thus
the table flows out of the screen).
Change the column width only when the cursor is below
the headings.
