Description

If any cell of table contains large length value string, then that value is hidden and by not any means we can see that value.

import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure(data=[go.Table(......)])

Problem related to this issue already answered in Stackoverflow. But solution not seems to be perfect, it is workaround.

if you have to split a long word, you can of course use a html line break instead of space to get this.

So multiple solutions that I think, but none of this is working.

  1. If we can hover over cell, but it is not possible and is current issue. #5523
  2. If we can use auto column width feature to adjust column width but still it is not supported.
  3. If we can wrap the cell by some means (except changing its value by inserting separator like
    or space).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the shown go.Figure and go.Table example using a cell containing a long unbroken value. Review the related Plotly.js issue #5523 and compare the reported hover, automatic column-width, and wrapping possibilities. Done means the full cell value is viewable without changing the value to insert separators.
