Description

Summary

Some consumer groups and their members have long names.
Long names lead to horisontal scrollbar, which makes at a glance info gathering impossible

Image
Preferred solution

Auto collapse long names so entire table view fits your max-width

Alternative solution

Uncap max-width and allow column resize

Version

v3.3.2

Additional notes

There is "Maximum string length before collapsing" setting for jsonviewer, but it does nothing for that table

Research direction

Start with the consumer-groups table that displays group and member names, then check how the JSON viewer's "Maximum string length before collapsing" setting is applied. Reproduce the long-name layout in v3.3.2 and verify that names collapse or the table remains usable without a horizontal scrollbar.
