Found after the new UI went live on a client's production data. Everything here is a data-shape problem: real names are ~60 characters, exchanges carry ten promoted properties, and payloads are 4KB of minified JSON on one line. None of that exists in a dev database.

What was wrong

Names collapsed into ellipses. Every truncate column got max-w-0 with no floor, so when a table had several they split the leftover space equally. Aggregations has three, Subscriptions has three — a 60-character name and a 60-character exception each got ~120px.

Promoted properties were reachable only by hovering. +2 was inert text.

A long payload stretched the whole page. The exchange drawer's <pre> had overflow-auto, but it sits in a <td colSpan={9}> of an auto-layout table, so the cell sized to its content and one line of minified JSON set the width of every row. There was no width for overflow-auto to overflow.

Panel tables hid their right-hand columns. MiniTable was set to grow and scroll, so Type / Status / When went off the edge of a 360px panel — with no pager or search on a 45-row list.

What changed

  • A wrap column mode: takes the table's slack like truncate, but wraps instead of clipping. Applied to every name column across the 12 list tables. Exceptions, URLs and joined key lists still clip — they carry the full string in a title.
  • +N is now a Popover (the same one behind "3 partners") listing every property, with Copy all giving the raw pairs. Chips cap at their column width so one long value can't widen anything.
  • Payloads are pretty-printed and wrap with wrap-anywhere — only that shrinks a cell's intrinsic width, which is the number the table was sizing itself from. break-words would have looked wrapped and still stretched the table. New toolbar: Raw/Formatted, copy, download. Over 256KB it renders the head and offers the download.
  • Panel tables fit their panel, and page and filter once past ten rows. The 8-row server-capped panels never grow either.
  • Density: 288 of the Aggregations table's 1351 pixels were cell padding. Tightening that, stacking the status badges and trimming the name floor gets all 12 columns inside 1440 with no sideways scroll. Queue health was already overflowing by 82px before any of this — same recipe fixed it.

Notes

  • promotedProperties was typed Record<string, string> but the backend passes the bag through untouched, so a resolved-to-nothing path arrives as null. Widened the type and let the compiler find the four call sites.
  • Reducing the font was tried and measured: it bought 12 pixels. The name columns were floor-bound, not text-bound.
  • Below ~1400px Aggregations still can't fit 12 columns (hard minimum 1126px). Collapsing the sidebar covers it.

Tests

e2e/table-layout.spec.ts — 6 specs covering overflow across all 11 list pages, name wrapping, the property popover and Copy all, the null-value paging crash, payload width in both modes, and panel paging/search. They rewrite API responses in flight rather than seeding rows, so nothing is written. 5 of the 6 fail against the pre-fix build, so they aren't vacuous.

Also repaired two specs that were already rotten on releases/r10.0. SearchSelect is a Headless UI Combobox with immediate; selecting an option makes Headless UI restore focus to the input ~5ms later, which reopens the listbox and marks the rest of the page inert. A test that moved on inside that window was wedged permanently — it was clicking an inert element, and nothing else was clickable to dismiss the listbox. pickOption waits it out. Verified this does not affect real users: traced at human pacing, focus and the listbox behave correctly throughout.

Full suite: 49/49, twice, down from 46/3 — and 58s instead of 2.4 minutes, since nothing burns 30s on timeouts any more.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Name columns wrap instead of sharing slack until every one ellipsises.
Promoted properties and long payloads open in place rather than in a
tooltip. Panel tables fit their panel, and page and filter past ten rows.
Selecting from a SearchSelect leaves Headless UI restoring focus a few
milliseconds later, which reopens the listbox and inerts the page — the
two specs that hit that window could never recover. pickOption waits it
out. New specs cover wrapping, the property popover, payloads and paging.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary

  • Updated table layouts to wrap long values and reduce horizontal overflow at 1440px.
  • Added client-side search and pagination to MiniTable.
  • Added promoted-property popovers with null-value support and “Copy all”.
  • Added formatted/raw payload views with copying, downloading, wrapping, and large-payload limits.
  • Added formatDocument and unit tests for JSON and XML-like payloads.
  • Added six end-to-end layout and behavior tests.
  • Updated combobox test helpers to handle delayed Headless UI focus restoration.

Risk

risk:medium

The changes affect shared table behavior and payload rendering across multiple pages. The payload formatter and preview size handling require regression coverage for malformed, large, and unusual payloads.

Security-sensitive areas

No security-sensitive logic or authorization behavior changed. Payload content is rendered and made available through copy and download actions. Review these paths for safe text handling and download behavior.

Test coverage impact

  • Added six end-to-end tests for layout, wrapping, promoted properties, payloads, null values, and panel search/paging.
  • Added unit tests for formatDocument.
  • Updated two combobox tests.
  • The full test suite passes 49/49 twice.

Operational concerns

  • No database migration or deployment configuration change is required.
  • Rollback can use the normal application version rollback.
  • Monitor large-payload rendering and table performance after deployment.

Walkthrough

The PR improves admin table layout by adding wrapping, search, and pagination. It adds nullable promoted-property rendering with copying, introduces formatted document previews, stabilizes Playwright selectors, and adds broad layout and payload coverage.

Changes

Admin table layout and interaction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Table layout, wrapping, search, and pagination
SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/src/components/ui/Table.tsx, SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/src/pages/..., SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/e2e/table-layout.spec.ts
MiniTable supports wrapping, client-side search, pagination, empty states, and bounded cell sizing. Admin tables replace truncation with wrapping where configured. End-to-end tests cover overflow, clipping, long names, and filtering.
Promoted properties
SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/src/api/types.ts, SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/src/api/http/exchanges.ts, SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/src/components/config/shared.tsx
Promoted-property values accept null, normalize to empty strings, and display through a bounded chip and full-property panel with copy support.
Document preview
SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/src/lib/documentPreview.ts, SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/src/pages/exchanges/ExchangeDrawer.tsx, SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/src/lib/__tests__/documentPreview.test.ts
JSON and XML payloads can be formatted for display. Exchange previews support raw/formatted views, copy, download, size calculation, and a 256 KB display limit.
Playwright interaction helpers
SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/e2e/helpers.ts, SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/e2e/gateways.spec.ts, SW.Bitween.Web/ClientApp/e2e/subscriptions.spec.ts
SearchSelect interactions use pickOption, which verifies that deferred listbox reopening does not persist. Subscription navigation targets the subscription name.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2f598

The PR improves table readability and payload previews, but formatted XML can misrepresent whitespace and long unbroken names may still cause horizontal expansion in some tables. These are bounded UI issues that are mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

break-words leaves mid-token breaks out of intrinsic sizing, so a name
with no spaces still widened Aggregations by ~900px; wrap-anywhere is
what the payload preview already used. The XML reflow split on `>\s*<`,
which swallowed a space between two tags — character data in mixed
content, not indentation.
