I believe the code by AnonymousMonk from Jan 19 2025 19:07, with text "Adjusting cells height per row and, thus, simulating a table.." is the best approach if you want to use the packer geometry.

Indeed, that's probably what I will do. I might still keep my original widget hierarchy and adjust cell widths per column instead of cell heights per row, though, because adding variables is easier that way (add one row instead of one cell in every row). It is also closer to the HTML table model.

All that said: It is neither urgent nor important. I was just hoping that the problem has already been solved by someone else.

Thank you a lot for maintaining Prima!
