Research direction

The payload names no files, so start by locating where the canvas table element is defined and rendered — search the TypeScript sources for the table element and its column-width handling. Read how the current width limit is applied and whether it is a fixed default or derived from column count, then decide with a maintainer what the new width should be. Done looks like tables rendering wider with less text wrapping, adjusted in that element's layout code and checked in the canvas UI.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello! I have been using whiteboard and like it a lot! The tables are nice but sometimes because they are so width limited a lot of text wraps around within columns and its hard to read. Any way these could be made wider?
