Description
Describe the solution you'd like
The output on the Explain > Analysis tab is grid data, but behaves differently than the grid on the Data Output tab:
- columns are NOT resizable
- the column headers do NOT stick when scrolling
- double-clicking a cell doesn't open a dialog with the cells content (for easier viewing of larger content, easier copy/paste etc)
It would improve the usability of the tab if the headers would stick to the top of the view on scroll and if columns would be resizable
On wider screens columns like Timings/Rows/Loops currently become way to wide for their content, while the Node column might still not be able to fully display it's content

Research direction
Start at the Explain > Analyse tab and identify the grid implementation used for its results, comparing it with the Data Output grid. Check how scrolling, column sizing, and cell interaction are handled there; done means the Analyse results provide sticky headers and resizable columns, with the requested cell viewing behavior clarified before implementation.
