html_repr of Table is not horizontally scrollable in jupyter lab, works in notebook (Firefox)

[maxnoe]

Description

A table with lots of columns displayed in a jupyter notebook is not scrollable horizontally (tested on firefox on Linux), the same works in the jupyter notebook interface.

This is a bit confusing, since the new notebook interface is also build on the lab components, I think.

Not sure if this is an astropy or a jupyter lab issue, first opening here.

Expected behavior

Table has a horizontal scrollbar

How to Reproduce

Open a jupyter notebook in lab and look at the output of a table with lots of columns / long column names.

I noticed a similar issue with pandas, and here it is : jupyterlab/jupyterlab#14625 (Firefox only it seems)

[pllim]

Oh, right. I was using Chrome. So, nothing much we can do here in this package to fix this?

[MridulS]

This seems to be fixed upstream in JupyterLab v4.0.7

Thanks for the update, @MridulS !

@maxnoe , can you please confirm?

Updated jupyter lab from 4.0.5 to the latest 4.0.8 and it works fine! Closing here.
