The normative text for SC 1.4.10 specifically allows a horizontal scrollbar for two-dimensional content such as "images, maps, diagrams, video, games, presentations, data tables".

Subject: Table with a horizontal scroll bar

I am reviewing a table design that has multiple columns. In the design a horizontal scroll bar is present at the bottom of the table so the user can get to the rest of the columns. Is this ok to do or will it violate 1.4.10 Reflow - Level AA. I'm not finding a lot of answers googling. Please provide some suggestions on a better approach if the horizontal scroll bar is not acceptable.

Thank you!
