DataGridCell content bounding box does not grow if content is longer than the initial cell width

[aliveli186]

Describe the bug

If the initial cell width is smaller than the content length of a DataGridCell the content bounding box doesn't grow to show the whole content when the cell width is increased by the user.

Steps to reproduce

<controls:DataGrid x:Name="RunningTasks"
				   AutoGenerateColumns="False"
				   GridLinesVisibility="Horizontal"
				   HorizontalGridLinesBrush="Black"
				   ItemsSource="{x:Bind ViewModel.Source, Mode=OneWay}"
				   IsReadOnly="True"
				   SelectionMode="Single"
				   Height="160">
	<controls:DataGrid.Columns>
		<controls:DataGridTextColumn
			Binding="{Binding Points, Converter={StaticResource StringFormatConverter}, ConverterParameter='{}{0:N0}'}"
			Header="Points" />
	</controls:DataGrid.Columns>
</controls:DataGrid>

Expected behavior

If the cell width is 100px and its content's width is 200px and when the user expands the column to see the whole content the bounding box around the content should grow to 200px, towards the direction where it is aligned to, to show the whole content. Currently it stays at 100px and doesn't grow, truncates the content.
