This isn't an "easy" problem, but it looks this should do the trick.

This patch should fix it. I don't know how to test this in Selenium (C-C is not always copy, and same with C-V (e.g., mine are C-Z C-C and C-Z C-V)).

Nevermind. It doesn't.

That will not work on cells that are created after the page loads.

Would any of the "auto-grow" plug-ins mentioned here help? I'll email preliminary patches for two of them to timdumol, in case they're useful. Unfortunately, I can't work on either ticket right now.

On the plug-ins: I think at least one of them uses a resizing strategy similar to the notebook's. At least one uses a different strategy. But the two I tried both have their quirks, discussed (and possibly fixed) in the comments on their pages.
