While table has several columns and the screen width is not enough to display them. To show more info, I wish the table cell can contain two lines.

@rivo commented on GitHub (Sep 27, 2021):

I'm sorry but this is unlikely going to be introduced. Everything in Table is based on the one-line premise. And once multi-line rows are introduced, I'm starting to duplicate behaviour implemented in TextView (e.g. word-wrapping). I'm also pretty confident that soon after, people will ask for irregular row heights because they won't need multi-line rows for every row.

If you need more lines in a table-like layout, you probably want to use Grid.
