Description

Tables in the OLH theme are displayed with two scrollbars below, even if scrolling is not necessary. This is very useful on mobile devices, but in most cases there is no need for this on regular desktop monitors.

Describe the solution you'd like
Can the scrollbar be displayed dynamically? Like if scrolling is necessary because of the resolution, it will pop up.

Research direction

Start by locating the OLH theme styles or templates responsible for table overflow, then reproduce the layout on desktop and mobile resolutions. Done means tables show a scrollbar when their content requires scrolling, while avoiding unnecessary scrollbars on desktop monitors and retaining useful mobile scrolling.
