Record page widget causing overflow

[seancolsen]

Reproduce

1. Go to a record page that contains a table widget.
2. Resize columns within the widget in order to make the total width of all columns wider than the viewport.
3. Expect to see a horizontal scroll bar which allows the sheet to be scrolled.
4. Expect the content of the record fields at the top of the page to be unaffected by the width of the widget columns.
5. Instead, observe that wide columns in the widget push the content of the whole page out, causing horizontal scrolling for the records fields at the top of the page, too.

I'm fairly certain that this is a regression, because I vaguely recall ensuring that this bug did not exist when I implemented that table widget within the record page. However I could be mistaken.

@Mayank77maruti you're welcome to work on this and submit a PR, but in general we don't assign tickets to new contributors, as noted in our Contributor Guide. Once we've already merged a PR of yours, then we'll be happy to assign tickets to you after that. The reason for this policy is that in the past it has been a maintenance burden for us to manage ticket assignments while having an overwhelming volume of people fail to submit their first PR when initially expressing intent to contribute.

@Rajesh604 your video above is irrelevant to this ticket. Your video depects the Import page. This ticket pertains to the Record page.

You'll need to view a record page that has related records. You can load the all_types table and navigate to the first record in the table, titled "Lorem". Then you should see this:

See how that white section at the top of the page is off-center? It should be centered. That misalignment is indicative of the problem that this ticket describes.

Separately, I noticed you made a comment in another ticket, calling my attention to this ticket. Please do not do that. It creates unnecessary notifications and does not properly organize communication into cohesive topics. In general, commenting on one ticket should be sufficient to get a person's attention about that topic. If you've been waiting for a reply for a long time, then it may be appropriate to follow up, either with a comment on that same thread (not an unrelated ticket), or a comment in Matrix.
