Note page width is too narrow

Why, after the update (8.0-beta.25+145fbfa19 (64-bit)), is the note page so narrow? Previously, it followed the page width, but now it causes my tables to be difficult to view properly, resulting in visual confusion.

As we noted in the announcement, note tabs use wide margins for cleaner note-taking and better readability.

You can continue to open notes in a standalone window (and set that as the default in the settings) if you want a wider editor.

(I'm not sure what you mean by "previously". Opening notes in tabs is a new feature in the Zotero beta.)

I have attached two images to illustrate the differences between zotero 7 and 8 (dev) for the convenience of explaining the issue. Both opening methods leave large blank spaces on both sides of the notes, which are not conducive to the display of tables.
By the way, this note is not associated with any specific literature, it is an independent note specifically used for classification of literature.
