With overflow-x: auto now enabled to allow horizontal scrolling on wide tables, the horizontal scrollbar will become visible. However, the custom scrollbar styles defined at the bottom of this file (lines 200-207) only specify width: 6px; for ::-webkit-scrollbar.

In WebKit/Blink browsers, width only controls the vertical scrollbar thickness, while height controls the horizontal scrollbar thickness. Without specifying height: 6px;, the horizontal scrollbar on wide tables will render with the browser's default thick height, causing a visual inconsistency with the customized thin vertical scrollbars.

To fix this, please update the scrollbar rule at the bottom of the file as follows:

:::-webkit-scrollbar {
  width: 6px;
  height: 6px;
}

border-radius: 8px;
overflow: hidden;
}

/* Slightly denser cells so comparison tables fit the content column without a
horizontal scrollbar (VitePress default is 8px 16px). */
.vp-doc td,
.vp-doc th {
padding: 8px 12px;
}

/* Break only inline-code tokens that genuinely can't fit their column (long
description strings), while leaving natural column sizing intact so short
identifiers like `palace_path` stay on one line. `overflow-x: auto` above is
the safety net for any table still wider than the content column. */
.vp-doc td code {
overflow-wrap: break-word;
}
