GUI tables are too short, waste a lot of space

[spotcatbug]

Here’s an example of the worst, for me:

Notice that there are 8 jails total in the table, but it’s only showing 2... and look at all that wasted space!

Not every table does this. Some are pretty good, but could still usually fit at least one or two more rows before hitting the window bottom.

I've been trying to sort this out, too. I tried Tampermonkey can't make it work (the html style/height attribute gets changed by javascript after the page loads. The height on the jails page gets stuck at 250px for me.

I'd suggest reporting it as a bug or a suggestion... I don't know if this is the case for all users.

It already is, several times over, and yes, it affects everyone, and has since the 11.3 days.

Web UI for Jails Limited to 2 or 3 Rows

Hi All. I hope someone can help me with this issue. I have searched but only found one other unanswered post regarding this. The problem that I have is that the list of jails in the FreeNAS and TrueNAS GUIs is limited to only a very few rows. This means that I have to constantly scroll up and...

Something else that's strange is that these tables are paginated, but you can scroll straight through. Unless this has some value on mobile devices (which I don't use to access my TrueNAS box), it seems counterintuitive to paginate in this situation.

No promises on a fix, but we'll have a look at this soon. It is not classified as a bug, but we agree it is undesirable behaviour.
