 When viewing the post list on some sites, the text can appear vertically.
 This is a known issue (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/52151), but
 I wanted to suggest a potential UX improvement to help the table handle
 extra columns more gracefully.

 When many plugin-added columns are present, the layout becomes cramped,
 and the title column wraps, for example: https://d.pr/i/5LLvmb

 A possible approach:

 1) Keep key columns, like the post title, fixed and always visible.
 2) Move any additional or lower-priority columns (e.g., those added by
 plugins) into a simple “More” dropdown when there isn’t enough space.

 This would keep the table readable while still exposing the same
 information, without relying on users to manually hide columns via Screen
 Options.
