Im my app I have NSTableView (view based) and when I add the value that is too long to the last column

first it "hits" the scroller

does anyone know how to deal with this problem?!

Any kind of help is highly appreciated!

make sure TableCellView autosizing is set horizontally to expand — Aneesh Dangayach, Apr 09 '14 at 00:22
Did you figure out an answer for this? I have the same issue — user2085689, Jun 26 '14 at 03:13
I solved the issue. I am not sure if you have the same problem but if you are using NSTableCellView under NSTableColumn, then you need to set constraints for NSTableCellView. Highlight NSTableCellView and click on "Resolve Auto-layout issue" and click on "Add missing constraints in the container". This will fix the issue if its same as mine. — user2085689, Jul 03 '14 at 04:27

The reason for this problem is due to constraints. If you are using NSTableCellView under NSTableColumn, then you need to set constraints for NSTableCellView.

More specifically, the table cell view needs constraints that keep its size pinned to its container's size. – levigroker May 12 '16 at 16:01
