Resizing behaviour

[tadeaspetak]

Describe the bug

The resizing behaviour is unexpected.

When changing the width of a column, I expect to only change the width of that particular column. At the moment, its sibling column is resized as well. I suppose this is to maintain the width of the table?

Anyway, the problem is that with multiple columns, it's easy to run to a point where it's impossible to resize columns more.

To Reproduce

This is the regular behaviour in all the examples. See this simple codesandbox for a more crammed table to experience the issues.

Expected behavior

I would expect to only adjust the width of the column being resized. The method is even available as setColumnWidth.

Could you please post a gif/video of what you mean? I tried your codesandbox and it seems to work fine for me.

I have the same problem.
I think that there could be two usecases:

1. Table has fixed width. When you resize some column (make the width greater) you could expect that the next column becomes less to keep total width of table not changed. This is the existing behaviour of Mantine Datatable.
2. Table has no fixed width. It has many columns and uses the horizontal scrollbar. In this case I expect that resizing of the column should not influence next column. Instead of it the total width of the table should grow. You can see the same behavior, for example, in Google Spreadsheets. This behavior is not supported in Mantine Datatable.
   It would be great to have a props that could switch between this two cases.
