When configuring a Custom - Cell row height in EuiDataGrid, depending on the displayed content, this can lead to lots of whitespace, e.g. when there's a lot of short content to be displayed.
Example:
When configuring an Auto fit - Cell row height in EuiDataGrid, this can lead to very large rows, when there's lots of text that needs to be displayed. E.g. JAVA Error messages.
For very short and very long content no current mode is optimal.
Describe the solution you'd like
For the optimal usage of space, it would be great if the Custom - Cell row height would treat the setting as max cell height to be displayed. But if all the cells have just a single line of content, it would be treated like Auto fit. This would provide improve the displayed information density. Since this would significantly change a given behavior of the grid, it could be a configuration flag, enabling this behavior
Describe alternatives you've considered
Provide a separate setting for the Auto fit mode, so it configured what's the maximum height a cell can have, to prevent Skyscraper like cells.
Desired timeline
Since we are working on improving the Logs experience, in Discover working on Contextual Awareness and for this, better information density is essential, sooner is better than later.
