Research direction

Start in the UI Data explorer and reproduce the issue with a query that returns many columns. Trace how row cells are laid out and identify the existing behavior that cuts off or squishes their contents. Done means the cells remain readable through scrolling or another clear interaction while exploring wide query results.
