Description of problem: At lower resolutions, the last column at the table doesn't collapse. For example, take a look at the page at resolution 361px wide.

    Looks like it is working for me in Firefox Windows:

    That's at 454px wide - the columns are collapsing as there isn't enough horizontal width for them all.

    What browser are you using? Although I'd be suprised if that makes a difference in this case.

    Chrome and it seems to happen at 420px and below. Take a look at the resolution in 361px wide for example. The columns are supposed to collapse under the green buttons when there isn't enough room.

    I can duplicate the problem in Firefox using inspect.

    Chrome with 361px width:

    What do you see at that width?

    This is Chrome on Mac at 377px. Chrome on Windows works fine.

    I'll try on a Mac when I get home this evening. It is possible there is something else on the page that is forcing the width. To test that you could make the table display: none and see if the page still scrolls horizontally.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I set the table to display: none and the page no longer scrolls horizontally (overflows). So, it seems tied to the table.
