(As you will be able to tell from the terminology I use, I am not a frontend guy, but I hope you will understand.)

When a table is wide and needs horizontal scrolling to see the columns towards the end, the user needs to scroll horizontally. However, since the container for the HTML table (div with class table-wrapper) isn't limited by the window size, I first need to vertically scroll near to the bottom of the page in order to scroll horizontally. Then I can scroll back up again. This isn't very user friendly. Instead, I think it would make sense to constrain the table's size (when necessary), so that the vertical and horizontal scrollbars either always are visible or at least not far out of reach.

I understand that I could provide my own template and / or CSS, but I think it would probably make sense to adjust the default in this regard.
