Subject: Allow revealing content when tabulated list column is not wide enough
Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2022 18:12:51 +0000

When a column is not wide enough to show content then the content is cut off and a ... character appears beside it.

To make it easy to see the full content add a mouse over, so when mouse is over this character or other character of the cut of content, a tooltip appears showing the full content of the cell.

To make it easy to resize a column to fit content, if the user clicks the ... character then a popup menu can appear with an item like 'Resize column to fit content', so it can be done with a single click.
