Bug Description

In the portable windows version of Zim Desktop Wiki is a strange behavior if you use auto wrapping with the table plugin.

Things i noticed:
- Table not autosizing according to the window borders
- Auto Wrap simply not working sometimes
- Auto Wrapped text don't wrap, is displayed white and table keeps size of a one liner but has a largde width
- Editing falls back to a one liner, making it hard to edit a cell with much text in it
- Table is correctly aligned to window border, high is according to wrapped lines, but only the first line is shown

Playing around and test buttons like duplicate line, delete line, reload page, pressing enter... leads to the different bugs.

Version is 0.65, Running on Win 7, 64Bit

Tested in Linux (Fedora 25, also with zim built from git) - same issue with text not wrapping properly, the table width not properly autosized, editing long text falls back to a one-line editor.
Really hopiong this bug will get some traction from the plugin dev

What seems to be happening on mine (0.67) is that it //is// auto-wrapping the text, but it doesn't shrink the cell width to match that. It seems the column is probably as wide as the widest cell would be if it were not wrapped. I've tried editing the source because I didn't know if the spaces in the header row or the --- in the second row or even spaces in data rows of the source impact column width, but they don't seem to. I removed all duplicate spaces in the whole table, and shrunk the ---- down to small lengths, but it didn't help.

I am though not getting the behavior described above where overall table width fits to window width. I have long cells and must scroll sideways much to see the whole table. I cannot make the cells truncate or wrap correctly.

Almost four years since this bug was first reported... I have this issue with Zim 0.72.1 on Ubuntu 18.04. It makes Zim tables unusable unfortunately.

The same Problem with the portable windows version of zim, e.g. no auto sizing of table, no auto wrap.
