Dashboard studio table column width not consistent

Hello. I have a problem with Splunk Dashboard Studio table. Sometimes after refreshing the table, when the content is reloaded, column widths become random, some are too wide, some are too narrow, even though, there is a lot of blank space. That makes the content not fit to the table and a scroll bar appears (an example what it looks like can be seen below)
It does not happen all the time, only occasionally, I was not able to determine what it depends on.

After sorting the table by one of the columns, everything goes back to normal, column widths become even and the content does not overflow anymore (example what the table should look like can be seen below)

Note, that I have set a static width for the first column. I have tried removing it but that does not seem to help much. It seems like column widths still get messed up.

Does anyone have any suggestions, what could be causing this? I would like to avoid setting static widths for all columns if possible because in some situations, the total number of columns can be different.
I am using Splunk Enterprise v9.1.1
