Description

I notice Francesco uses table a lot in his posts
https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/08/29/6-4-release-parties-schedule-and-hosts/

The column width of the table has to be improved (see my comment under the post)
there is already an overflow-x: auto;
But it is not readable, since the column width are all equal : the first column's content (date/time) has insuffiscient space.
The goal is to have an horizontal scroller sooner, and enlarge header column width, even on mobile. It deals with the ..has-fixed-layout class
i would set table-layout: auto; instead :-)
Maybe change the name of the class, to let it not be fixed.

Thanks for the report! You are correct that the table in question made use of the Table block configured to have fixed width table cells. I deselected that setting, so now the table scrolls horizontally, allowing sufficient space for cells to be more legible.
