[JupyterLab 3.6.2] Too much whitespace in markdown tables

[Firestar-Reimu]

The first 3 tables are badly rendered. Cash $14400 is seperated to 2 lines and use much whitespace on the left side.

I don't know why the 4th table is good

|   Assets   | Liabilities & Equity |
| :------------: | :------------------: |
| Cash $\$14400$ | Shares owed $\$9000$ |
|        |  Equity $\$5400$  |


|   Assets   | Liabilities & Equity |
| :-------------: | :------------------: |
| Shares $\$9000$ |  Loan $\$3600$   |
|         |  Equity $\$5400$  |


|   Assets   | Liabilities & Equity |
| :------------: | :-------------------: |
| Cash $\$14400$ | Shares owed $\$500P$ |
|        | Equity $\$14400-500P$ |


|  Assets   | Liabilities & Equity |
| :-----------: | :------------------: |
| Shares $500P$ |  Loan $\$3600$   |
|        | Equity $500P-\$3600$ |

I guess the last table will overflow if you add \$ in the second row first column as in the other tables; something like:

|  Assets   | Liabilities & Equity |
| :-----------: | :------------------: |
| Shares $\$500P$ |  Loan $\$3600$   |
|        | Equity $500P-\$3600$ |

[Firestar-Reimu]

But this would not:

|  Assets   | Liabilities & Equity |
| :-----------: | :------------------: |
| Shares $\$500$ |  Loan $\$3600$   |
|        | Equity $500P-\$3600$ |

the last table will overflow if you add \$ in the second row first column as in the other tables;

And this should not happen

Thanks for testing.

I would not have expected it to still be rendered as you expected.
