Another UI bug/UX improvement suggestions

increase the max chat window width. Often I ask a model to summarise what has changed in a before/after table.

Which results in a large table for quick review. But the max width of the chat window is quite limited. I’m on 49 inch ultrawide (5120x1440) so I need to scroll a lot horizontal inside those tables even though I have all this screen real estate around the chat input window/messages doing nothing..
