Logseq can't render long tables

[Daniele]

I want to copy-paste a row from a Postgres database into Logseq. I can choose between different formats and I selected Markdown. Obsidian renders it perfectly:

but logseq doesn’t:

On the other hand, the Android app works fine.

This is the code of the table: "| inizio | fine | aaaa_id | sesh_id | note | bbbbb | ccccc | ddddd | eeeeee | fffff | gggggg | bb | fffffff | yyyyyyy | zzzzzzzz | luogo_id | logseq_id | hhhhhhh | iiiiiiiii | lllllllllll | mmmmmmmmm | uuuuu | dolore | ttttttttt | rrrrrrrrrrr | fffffffff | dddddddddd | eeeeeeee | fffffffff | mmmmmm | aaaaa | dddddd | rrrrrrrr | top | ffffff | ddddddd | sssssss | parla | id | in_logseq | ttttttt | ssssssss | eeeeeeeee | giorno_sett |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
"

PS. The demo version doesn’t have any scrollbar at all.

EDIT: I found a workaround, which isn’t optimal but better than nothing: putting the table code in a code block (choosing Markdown as language).

This is a CSS issue. By default, Logseq implements a 100% to the width property of a table. If you set it in custom.css to max-content, it will render properly. This of course affects all tables.

table {
  width: max-content !important;
}

@hkgnp

table {
  width: max-content !important;
}

Thank you! Now the table renders fine, but the horizontal scrollbar is unusable because when I click on it to move it, logseq goes in edit mode and shows the raw code. So I can’t scroll.

Oh shouldn’t you be scrolling the Logseq window instead? Like the scrollbar at the bottom of the Logseq window?

[Daniele]

there’s no scrollbar at the bottom of the window

Interesting. Renders differently on a Mac. I actually get the scrollbar for the entire Logseq window.

Other than using a trackpad, I can’t think of a workaround at the moment. Will mull over it and let you know if I think of something.

I found a workaround, which isn’t optimal (it’s a bit ugly) but better than nothing: putting the table code in a code block (choosing Markdown as language). Any other suggestions are welcomed!
