It would be best to have a (even temporary) fix. I'm not sure how we can
do that. Having a special background colour could do that. But that
means we need to check the length of every cells. I suppose that, if you
have cells with more than 50k characters, you'll also have big tables.
It sure will take a lot of time to check that. And what should we do if
we find cells with more than X thousand characters? Highlight them? Draw
something? I don't know. All I can say is that it won't be cheap
(performance-wise).
