It may be useful to skip setting the last cell width to allow react-table-grid
to do the calculation for us. See attached before and after:
I did not want to introduce a feature that does something people may not expect -- the last column to always be the size they specified. Instead, introduce a new knob allowing callers to explicitly request to let the last column size to be calculated by react-table-grid. Technically, users can avoid this 'issue' by defining n-1 column widths, and the last item will be calculated by react-table-grid
. However, if users want or need to define the same number of widths as there are columns, adding a knob might be helpful to specify the desired behaviour.
Thanks for the feedback @couture-ql

Bad news is that we won't be fixing issues in this component. The good news is that the new dash-table is much much better!
Oh cool. Good to know, and will try to switch over asap.
Since this project is deprecated the suggested fix is useful only for historical reasons.
Currently, DataTable provides a way for users to define column widths, which is useful for flexibility. However, when tables and pre-set columns do not match up perfectly, the last column can fall short of the calculated width of the table viewport. Adding a new flag to allow callers to skip setting the fixed width of the last column, such that it will be calculated by react-table-grid instead, allowing it to be a sane width.
Fixes an issue where setting fixed widths may cause last item to fall short of calculated container.
