Resolution
Perform the following local-change steps:
1. Save workform_pyReportingSkin CSS into the application and add the following CSS:
table.gridTable[pl_prop="pyReportContentPage.pxResults"] {
table-layout: fixed;
}
table.gridTable[pl_prop="pyReportContentPage.pxResults"] th, table.gridTable[pl_prop="pyReportContentPage.pxResults"] td {
overflow-x: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
height: auto;
}
table.gridTable[pl_prop="pyReportContentPage.pxResults"] td .oflowDivM{
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
div.gridDefault div.divCont {
white-space: normal;
}
div.gridDefault div.oflowDiv {
height: auto !important;
}
textarea {
white-space: pre-wrap;
}
2. Then apply a TextArea control to the column that is required to have word wrapped, and give it a column width of at least 500 px.
3. Now scroll through the extra content provided by the TextArea.
