When placing a mat-button inside a table cell, it appears above the sticky columns instead of being clipped or hidden like the rest:

This issue is reproducible with:
- Angular Material 15: https://stackblitz.com/edit/3p4mdjwq?file=src%2Fapp%2Ftable-sticky-columns-example.html
- Angular Material 19: https://stackblitz.com/edit/dcghq85p?file=src%2Fexample%2Ftable-sticky-columns-example.html,src%2Fexample%2Ftable-sticky-columns-example.ts,package.json
I haven't tested with other versions.
Thanks!

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Angular Material 19 StackBlitz reproduction, especially src/example/table-sticky-columns-example.html and src/example/table-sticky-columns-example.ts. Run it in Firefox and scroll horizontally to observe the button over the sticky column; done means the button is hidden when it leaves the visible table area.
