Description (last modified by )
When viewing the post list on some sites, the text can appear vertically. This is a known issue (#52151), but I wanted to suggest a potential UX improvement to help the table handle extra columns more gracefully.
When many plugin-added columns are present, the layout becomes cramped, and the title column wraps, for example: https://d.pr/i/5LLvmb
A possible approach:
1) Keep key columns, like the post title, fixed and always visible.
2) Move any additional or lower-priority columns (e.g., those added by plugins) into a simple “More” dropdown when there isn’t enough space.
This would keep the table readable while still exposing the same information, without relying on users to manually hide columns via Screen Options.
With the current state of art of the future Admin Admin Interface, this clearly needs
design-feedbackto consider your proposals.I'm moving this to Administration, as that is where all these improvements are being concentrated.
