The Status Macro **does truncate the text** shown during **edit mode** . However, in v**iew mode** **the entire text** should be shown, such as:

I tried replicating the behaviour with both **Fixed Width** and also **Responsive Width** tables. Even then, I was unable to.

Here are a few screenshots:

Here, I tested with **fixed width tables**. One has a layout with two sections and the other does not.

Could you send us some **screenshots** with **dummy content** that replicated the issue? Be careful to create **test content** so your actual data is not displayed here publicly.
