TableView with overflowMode=wrap does not shrink cells who once got expanded

[tomsontom]

🐛 Bug Report

If you use a TableView with overflowMode="wrap" a cell who has increased because of resizing does not shrink anymore.

🤔 Expected Behavior

I expect a cell to shrink once enough vertical space has been provided by the table to fit the content

😯 Current Behavior

A cell who onces increased its size does not shrink anymore although the vertical space is not needed anymore

💁 Possible Solution

My gut feeling is that the problem is in the Virtualizer but I have no idea how this could be fixed.

🔦 Context

I tried to use TableView in our application but this behavior makes it almost unusable for my usecase where I have columns who don't have a fixed width. To me it generally feels that (at least of firefox) that the TableView is not made for dynamically resized columns but I might be mistaken.

💻 Code Sample

One can just adapt the 'overflowMode="wrap"' with the following patch

diff --git a/packages/@react-spectrum/table/stories/Table.stories.tsx b/packages/@react-spectrum/table/stories/Table.stories.tsx
index 12abd791d..ad9d07d03 100644

         <TableHeader>
-          <Column width={250} showDivider>File Name</Column>

           <Column>Type</Column>
           <Column align="end">Size</Column>
         </TableHeader>

and now make the table require to resize itself

Agreed, that is not great behavior. Seems like something that should be looked into.
