Why does autofit stop working halfway a table??

Seen this happen multiple times : What is going on here? Why does it do this? The date is just as long as the hundreds of line before but suddenly it starts wrapping.....why???

    The font is the same but the width is greater because some characters are wider than others e.g. M is wider than I.

    So it runs out of space and therefore it wraps the text. The time element e.g. 12:07:32 is too large to display it in the remaining space of the column.

    You can select Column Headers in the visual settings to turn off 'text wrap' - then it truncates the text and adds three dots at the end.

    But best is to widen the column (drag the right hand edge of the column header) if you can. But you should turn off 'auto-size width' in the Column Headers settings in order to fix the column width, otherwise it'll re-size it again on next refresh.
