Columns much wider than browser hinder usability

Open marcink opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

When columns contain long-text content (often see this with long-URL links), the table editor renders columns to be extremely wide - sometimes even multiple browser-widths. This makes it very difficult to edit content.

A workaround is to horizontally scroll the edit table and resize columns. This needs to be done very often, and multiple times while in a single table edit session, making the editing very cumbersome and really hindering usability.

I propose setting a maximum column width to somewhere between 60-80% of the editor container so that the entire column is always visible, and the content is wrapped.
