Description

I have a hstore column which is very difficult to view in the sql query. When hovering over the cell and scrolling it will scroll the entire table, not the contents of the cell. The only way to see the contents seems to be select the text then move the cursor to see more of the contents.

Not sure what is the ideal way here. Click and have a larger box appear with the contents? Being able to scroll the contents when hovering?

See example of a hstore column with text not fitting to the cell:

Research direction

Start by reproducing the problem in the SQL query view with an hstore cell containing enough text to overflow its displayed area. Compare the current hover and selection behavior, then make the cell contents usable without scrolling the entire table; done means the full value can be inspected through an agreed interaction.
