Prevent Table cell from automatically resizing on dropping a Text component inside
This is how the <table> works, you should specify a fixed width to your cells to avoid it
Read full answer below ↓Question
I have a Table with say 1 row and 3 cells. When I drag and drop a Text component inside one of the cells, that cell enlarges and occupies the entire width of the table. How can I prevent that from happening and make the Text component take the width of the cell.
