I have a custom type `CollectedBenchmarks` that implements the [`Tables.jl`](https://github.com/JuliaData/Tables.jl) interface. I’ve defined

```julia
function Base.show(io::IO, ::MIME"text/plain", b::CollectedBenchmarks)
    pretty_table(io, b; show_row_number=true)
end

```

using `pretty_table` from [`PrettyTables.jl`](https://ronisbr.github.io/PrettyTables.jl/stable/man/usage/). However, in a Jupyter notebook, for an object `result::CollectedBenchmarks`, I’m seeing the following truncated output:

Same with `display(result)`.

In contrast, if I call `pretty_table` directly, I get the full table:

What is responsible for the trunctation in the `display` case, and how can I configure or disable it?
