What does this PR do?
In DataTable the height is calculated in code what does not work on resizing any column's content (see #7177) if there is another plain-column. This PR is a pure CSS solution for the problem.
Where should the reviewer start?
See section "Actual Behavior" of #7177.
What testing has been done on this PR?
We manually tested both situations: On initializing the table and on changing cells content. We use this fork already in production.
How should this be manually tested?
In "Steps to reproduce" of #7177 a sandbox is provided. To test correct sizing on table initialization one can set the default-value to true at https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/datatable-collapse-issue-2jq6d9?file=/index.js:255,1-256,1. Additionally, one can remove the line
https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/datatable-collapse-issue-2jq6d9?file=/index.js:310,1-311,1 to also test for non-plain columns.
Do Jest tests follow these best practices?
screen
is used for querying.asFragment()
is used for snapshot testing.Any background context you want to provide?
The author of the initial implementation didn't see that there is a pure CSS solution (see comment in https://github.com/grommet/grommet/blob/master/src/js/components/TableCell/TableCell.js#L129). Meanwhile there were changes in the same section 10c46fd which should be tested. I updated the Sandbox to Grommet's current version and the intermediate change does not effect the behavior of this PR.
What are the relevant issues?

Screenshots (if appropriate)
No
Do the grommet docs need to be updated?
No
Should this PR be mentioned in the release notes?
As you wish
Is this change backwards compatible or is it a breaking change?
Was backward compatible before 10c46fd. If the underlying issue of this change #6086 is still solved with the PR in place, then it is confirmed that it still is backward compatible.
