Description
Steps to reproduce
“Rich text” columns have huge padding on the left and right, and especially at the bottom.
This results in a messy layout, leading to:
- poor horizontal alignment of the content relative to other adjacent field types
- a noticeable loss of vertical space due to the enormous bottom padding; fewer lines are displayed than expected, forcing users to scroll more than necessary
- a loss of horizontal space due to excessive left and right padding
Fixing this would result in a cleaner, more space-efficient display.
