[BUG] table autofit doesn't fill window width in Jupyter QtConsole

[digitalsignalperson]

• I've checked docs and closed issues for possible solutions.
• I can't find my issue in the FAQ.

Describe the bug

In a Juypter QtConsole, table autofit doesn't work.

Example code:

from rich import pretty
from rich.table import Table

pretty.install()

stuff = dir(pretty)
table = Table(show_header=False, show_lines=True)
for i in range(5):
    table.add_row(*[stuff.pop() for i in range(8)])

table
# is 115 chars wide

from rich.console import Console
console = Console()
console.print(table)
# same

table.width = 200
table
# now it's bigger

Screenshot:

I'm not sure if #2 is still accurate, but shutil reports this:

shutil.get_terminal_size()
Out[7]: os.terminal_size(columns=80, lines=24)

From the rich.diagnose.report() from below, it reports console width=115, same as I counted from the original output. No matter how I increase or decrease the window width, this does not change.

If QTConsole doesn't report the width of the console, I'm afraid there is no way for Rich to know how wide the table should be.

I hope we solved your problem.
