Hide table sticky-header shadow when description is truncated

What does this MR do and why?

When a work item description contains a markdown table with sticky headers and is long enough to trigger the "Read more" truncation, the table's sticky-header scroll shadows bleed through the truncation overlay

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Enable the FF editor_sticky_table_headers
  2. Open a work item with a long description that contains a markdown table (e.g. a table with several rows)
  3. Ensure the description is long enough to trigger the "Read more" truncation (> 80% of viewport height + 96px)
  4. Observe that the table sticky-header shadow is no longer visible through the "Read more" gradient overlay

Here's an example that worked for me (while I also have the FF workplan toggled on):
