I built a three-column CSS layout. In fact, I built 2: one with a fixed-size center, and one with a liquid center.

The input format admin form (admin/filters) tries to just get wider and wider in proportion to the number of roles. it either explodes the layout or the roles to the right disappear under the right column (depending on CSS details browser).

Given that the first two roles have long, unchangable, names, this is a problem. This form should be designed so that it can work in constrained width even as the number of roles goes up.

access/admin has the same problem, perhaps worse.

I confirm this bug.

The problem results of the fat that the table is to big (because of header titles) and extends further. The solution is a completly redesign of admin sections that have tables with "dynamic" columns.

This is a big problem with wider html tables. Pushing this to HEAD for furter discussion about the correct design. Limit table columns? Allow themes to specify the number of columns *without* having to recreate all theme output code?

Is this still a problem in current version?

Issue too old, it's probably handled better now. Closing.
