no Have used another Python GUI Framework (tkinter, Qt, etc) previously (yes/no is fine)?
You have completed these steps:
- Read instructions on how to file an Issue
- Searched through main docs http://www.PySimpleGUI.org for your problem
- Searched through the readme for your specific port if not PySimpleGUI (Qt, WX, Remi)
- Looked for Demo Programs that are similar to your goal http://www.PySimpleGUI.com
- Note that there are also Demo Programs under each port on GitHub
- Run your program outside of your debugger (from a command line)
- Searched through Issues (open and closed) to see if already reported
- Try again by upgrading your PySimpleGUI.py file to use the current one on GitHub. Your problem may have already been fixed but is not yet on PyPI.
Description of Problem / Question / Details
It seems the column heading is used to calculate the column width. If there are values in rows which are longer than the heading, this cuts off the columns.
Code To Duplicate
import PySimpleGUI as sg
print(sg)
print(sg.version)
## Paste your code here
layout = [
[sg.Text('Personal finances')],
[sg.Table(
headings=['One', 'Two'],
values=[[20000, 2000]],
auto_size_columns=True
)],
[sg.OK(), sg.Cancel()]
]
window = sg.Window(
title="Personal finances",
layout=layout,
margins=(5, 5),
size=(900, 600),
font=('San Francisco', 15)
)
while True:
event, values = window.read()
print(event)
if event == sg.WINDOW_CLOSED or event == 'Cancel':
break

Research direction
Reproduce the issue from the provided sg.Table example with auto_size_columns=True, focusing on how the table sizes headings versus row values. No source file or test is named; done means the displayed columns fit values longer than their headings without breaking the existing table behavior.
