Set maximum height of the row or cell in the DataTable

[JavaFlint]

Hello,
I'm in process of converting application from RichFaces 3.3 to PrimeFaces 5 and having hard time making p:dataTable looks and behave like rich:scrollableDataTable.

Is it possible to set maximum height of the cell (or row) in the scrollable p:datatable?
Currently it's always expands to the show all content, but I'd like to show only two lines in the cell.
Also, how to make the row height the same in the fixed and scrollable parts of the table?

I'm using these styles, but they only work if I set maximum height:

.recvTable thead tr th {
height : 40px;
}
.recvTable .ui-datatable-scrollable-theadclone tr {
height : 0px;
}
.recvTable tbody tr {
height : 25px;
max-height: 25px;
overflow: hidden;
}

Browser - IE11, Edge mode.

Thank you,

Looks like row height cannot be set in PrimeFaces' dataTable because it is rendered as HTML table where each cell's content not wrapped into the <div> element, which would allow to set the cell's height.

BTW, cells in the extendedTataTable from RichFaces were wrapped with <DIV> .
