quarto 1.4.551 causes docx table rendering issue on flextable

[datapython]

Bug description

My qmd file was rendered ok for docx including the flextable with 1.3.433 but only one problem of caption missing. After updated to 1.4.551, the caption started working, but the rendered table inside the docx was totally squeezed into a strip. By the way, this table is coded with gtsummary and converted into flextable for autofit the width of docx.

This was rendered with 1.3.433.

This was rendered with 1.4.551.

However, testing with mtcars by adding a column with long colname and long string value could not replicate the issue. At this time I cannot share my data.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do with screenshots.
Could you share a small self-contained "working" (reproducible) example to work with, i.e., a complete Quarto document or a Git repository? Thanks.

You can share a self-contained "working" (reproducible) Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).
See https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#small-is-beautiful-aim-for-a-single-document-with-10-lines.

If you have multiple files (and if it is absolutely required to have multiple files), please share as a Git repository.

Thank you for using Quarto and reporting an issue!

Unfortunately, this issue is now considered stale because it has been opened since 14 days without providing a "working" reproducible example to help us investigate.
If you are still facing the issue, please review the "Bug Reports" guide on how to provide a fully reproducible example as a self-contained Quarto document or a link to a Git repository.
Without a reproducible example, it is unlikely that the issue will be addressed.
