[2.4] Incorrect table spacing causes wrapping in wrong places

[Andres Rodriguez]

Incorrect table spacing causes wrapping in wrong places. This is across the board, just putting one example.

ANother 2.4 bad wrapping example.

[Anthony Dillon (ya-bo-ng)]

The reason for the change in tables is due to Vanilla using the grid to layout the table. Before each column had a bespoke width but to achieve horizontal rhythm thought out the content we use a 12 column grid. This may cause some wrapping in tables but case by case we can either redistribute the columns to reduce wrapping or move data within the revealed row.

I agree with Ant, having a table aligned to the grid is better,
unless it causes severe compromises with the content.

In this particular example I'd explore shortening content as much as possible - Luke mentioned a js library that helps with that - I think it was this one - https://momentjs.com

Could we get a full list of examples and address case by case?

[Andres Rodriguez (andreserl)]

I don’t think we need a new js library to fix tables. We shouldn’t be
finding a work around in JS to fix something that has to do with formatting.

I’m considering this a regression provided that this is affecting tables
across the board and is not organizing the data as it should be (e.g for
fields that don’t r quite a lot of space that don’t need it, or for fields
who require more space and don’t have it because others are taking space
when they shouldn’t.)
