Cause Service Portal is using responsive design and hence actually the larger HTML table is not truncated, instead, there is a scroll bar provided at the end of the page as shown in the below screenshot.

Resolution This is working as per the product design. However, if you would like to introduce an additional horizontal scroll bar only specific to the larger HTML table within the "article body" field, you can consider updating the HTML source of the table with below structure,

... You can do this via going to the affected article in the backend and select the HTML table in HTML editor and click on "source" icon and update the HTML of the table as shown below.
