[BUG] Table padding is miscalculated in first column

Table padding is miscalculated in first column

I'm using a table for layout, but the first column has too much padding between it and the second column. When I investigated, I found that adjusting the padding also adjusts the margin of error, meaning that it's basically putting in double the requested amount of padding, but only for the divider between the first and second columns.

Minimum reproduceable code

from rich import print
from rich.table import Table

table = Table.grid(padding=(0, 1))

for _ in range(3):
    table.add_column(width=3)

for row in range(3):
    table.add_row(*["a" * 3 for _ in range(3)])

print(table)

Platform Terminal: Windows Terminal (the new one from the Windows Store, not cmd.exe nor powershell.exe) Environment: WSL2 on Windows 10 OS: (in WSL2) Ubuntu 24.04 Rich version: 14.2.0
