Editing uitable column widths with cursor does not update ColumnWidth property

I have a uitable with editable column widths (ColumnEditable = true). I've noticed, however, that when I resize a column in the table using my cursor that the ColumnWidth property for the table does not change. This is important because I have a resize callback function for my figure to adjust the width of my table columns after the user adjusts the figure window size, but if a user manually adjusts the column width of the uitable with the mouse cursor and then resizes the figure window afterward then the adjustment made by the cursor is lost.
fig = figure;
myTable = uitable('Data',[1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9],'ColumnWidth',{50,100,50},'ColumnEditable',true);
% Requesting ColumnWidth ("myTable.ColumnWidth") returns 50 100 50
% Now modify one of the column widths by dragging edge with cursor
% Requesting ColumnWidth again returns the same values even though width is
% now different!!!
Does anyone know where to retrieve the column width after they're edited with a cursor? I assume this can be done by querying the underlying java object (findjobj.m from Yair), but I didn't see the desired column width fields in my querying.
Thanks.
