Description
Problems with PropertiesTable:
-
Columns are not aligned when stacked
-
Requires the caller to explicitly give it two explicit columns of stuff instead of automatically splitting
-
Doesn't handle odd numbers of rows well in split mode
-
Naming is confusing — what you would think is a group is called Table, and the wrapper is Group
<Group> <Table/> <Table/> </Group>

Research direction
Start by locating the PropertiesTable component and its current Group/Table usages. Inspect stacked and split layouts first; done means aligned columns, automatic splitting without explicit columns, correct odd-row handling, and clearer naming.
