I'm not sure if this is a side effect of not having the widget displayed (no space is calculated for it so it doesn't know what sizes to use when writing the Table?) or not. If this is working as expected, might there be any way to write to the widget while it's hidden but preserve the appropriate sizing?

I think you're right about Rich.Table not knowing how to calculate the column width.

Perhaps you could set table.width = log2.scrollable_content_region.width as a workaround?

Gave it a whirl but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be working either. Looks to be writing empty lines in that case when it's not displayed. The width reported while it's hidden is 0.

Just tried my example out with the latest textual (0.52.1) but unfortunately I appear to be getting the same results as before.

The fix is in main. It will be in next week's release.

Ah - thanks for pointing that out. I should have checked instead of assumed :)
