This is by design, so you can often edit the field without expanding the

I think this is a matter of taste.
Of course, this is slightly more informative, but I prefer a more
visible "…" character. It might be confusing otherwise, e.g., if you
edit a narrow column, which suddenly expands because a very large column
below.

I cannot reproduce it. It used to be that way in an old implementation
of shrunk columns, but I don't think it is the case anymore.
