Description
If the text in the cell is longer than column can display, it seems you can't see the full content unless you open the Edit window or export the whole table. I think this is not straightforward and not logical when you just need to view the content.
Quick ideas:
- the ability to manually adjust the column width for your view, or even simpler - a tip with full content when you hover the mouse over it.
- Another idea could be wrapping the text and have variable height rows

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Review the table cell display UI and compare the proposed column resizing, hover text, and text-wrapping approaches; done requires selecting and implementing a defined way to view full cell content without opening Edit or exporting the table.
