Description

Bug report

Expected behavior and actual behavior

I expect the long name to be either trimmed or scrollable.

Instead in actuality, it overflows into adjacent cells

Steps to reproduce the problem

Either use multiply nested workflows, or a process with a very long name.

Program output

Environment
  • Nextflow version: version 23.10.0, build 5891 (15-10-2023 15:14 UTC)
  • Java version: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.16+8, mixed mode)
  • Operating system: Linux
  • Bash version: GNU bash, version 4.2.46(2)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)
Additional context

Related in issue #4751, the overflow in my case is caused by multiply nested subworkflows. I would probably like to see this table broken up by the sub workflows, but this still won't fix overflow of too long a name in general.

Reproduce the Summary Report Task Table issue with multiply nested workflows or a process with a very long name, then trace the report table output. Done means long process names are trimmed or scrollable instead of overflowing into adjacent cells.
