Description

Bug report

Expected behavior and actual behavior

I expect the long name to be either trimmed or scrollable.

Instead in actuality, it overflows into adjacent cells

Steps to reproduce the problem

Either use multiply nested workflows, or a process with a very long name.

Environment

  • Nextflow version: version 23.10.0, build 5891 (15-10-2023 15:14 UTC)
  • Java version: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.16+8, mixed mode)
  • Operating system: Linux
  • Bash version: GNU bash, version 4.2.46(2)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

Additional context

Related in issue #4751, the overflow in my case is caused by multiply nested subworkflows. I would probably like to see this table broken up by the sub workflows, but this still won't fix overflow of too long a name in general.

Research direction
The issue is a CSS overflow bug in the Nextflow summary report table. Look for the report template files, likely in the Nextflow source code under 'modules/nextflow' or similar. Check the HTML and CSS responsible for rendering the task table. The fix involves adding CSS rules like 'overflow: hidden; text overflow: ellipsis;' or making the table scrollable. Review linked issue #4751 for additional context on the table structure.
