Describe the bug / error

In List View Formatting, when specifying the element widths div in percentages and setting hideSelection to false, the widths of the child div elements varies for each row; while setting hideSelection to true, the widths of the child div become the same for each row.

Specifying width in percentage makes this CSS table responsive to window resizing. The View Formatting JSON is derived from sample https://github.com/pnp/List-Formatting/tree/master/view-samples/custom-header.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a List and choose some columns to be shown;
2. Create some items with non-empty values for the columns;
3. Format View:

        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

4. Toggle bewteen "hideSelection": false, and "hideSelection": true, and preview the difference.

Expected behavior

The widths of the elements should be the same for all rows when specified in percentages, no matter the value of hideSelection.
