DataTables

I am using Datatables 1.8.1 along with TableTools. For one of my columns I entered a long character string (>200 chars) and it completely messed up my table in that it enlarged the column (and hence table) to accommodate. I was using autowidth so I turned that off and specified a width of "200px". The first time the table is drawn the Header is correctly 200px. Stepping through the DT code the table gets redrawn on the statement "o.nTable.insertBefore( nTheadSize, o.nTable.childNodes[0] );" which is in the _fnScrollDraw function.

I can't post the code but here is similar code:

var myTable = $('#myTable').dataTable( {
  "bFilter": false,
  "bInfo": false,
  "bPaginate": false,
  "bAutoWidth": false,
  "aaSorting: [[0, "desc"]],
  "aoColumns": [
    { "sType": "serial"},
    null,
    { "sWidth": "200px"},
    { "sType": "date"},
    null,
    null,
    null
  ],
  "sDom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
  "oTableTools": {
      "sRowSelect": "single"
   }
});

$(window).bind("resize", function() {
   myTable.fnAdjustColumnSizing();
});

Anybody have suggestions?
