Hi,

when I render this here locally I get the
table with wide spaces:

https://i.ibb.co/RDd65HK/plantuml-layout-bug.png

    @startuml
    participant "A" as cc1
    participant "B" as cc2
    cc1 -> cc2  : Text
    note left
    | aa | aa aa aa |
    | bb | bb bb bb |
    | cc| cc cc cc |
    end note
    legend
    <size:8> Rendered with Plantuml Version %version() </size>
    end legend
    @enduml


If I render the image remotely, everything seems right:

Different Java environments but same Plantuml version.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you very much.

ps. the pictures somehow get lost in the post, I'll try to add them later

Hello,

It can be dot version. To check:

@startuml
version
@enduml

no, same Plantuml version without dot.

different fonts are installed, but even if I use a defined font for NoteFontName
large spaces to the right of the texts in the table.

So, to the right of the texts in the table is a free area of similar width.

Thank you very much for the answers so far.

Is there a possibility to upload an image here in this forum?

Yes, but not so simple:

1) Copy the image in a storage available with an url (like https://imgbb.com/)

2) Insert image link (first button left)

Logo Wikipedia

I cannot upload an image via URL, the preview shows me a red cross at the link.

I have simply written the link at the top of the question, you just have to click on it.

Sorry, I don't have any other ideas. It also works in my local environment. On which system did you run plantuml.jar?

Last idea, Add skinparam TabSize 1

@startuml
skinparam TabSize 1

Hi,
unfortunately this does not work.

I have now built a workaround and am making a
<code> output and generate the text dynamically via Python PrettyTable.

Many thanks for the help
