Hi Ben,
I noticed that when viewing the submissions, a horizontal scrolling bar appears in Safari 3 (not in Firefox though).

Hey Frosty,
This is on the submission listing page or on the edit submission page?
I really tried to encourage people to keep the number of columns on the submissions page to a minimum, but I didn't want to force a max # columns because some data can be a single char (for example).
Do you think permitting the horizontal scrollbars on that page is the best solution?

Hi Ben,
It's the submissions listing page.
I have tried to list just 3 columns but no luck with that so I am just wondering why the scrollbar is there 
Btw, is it possible to control the width of each individual column?

It'll be a CSS thing. I'm just putting together the next build right now, and I'll try and include a fix for this.

This is another feature I've thought a lot about! But right now the short answer is no, sorry.

Hmm, it shows that I am still using the old theme version despite uploading newly generated files. Any idea?

Blah! Sorry, I'm still sorting out my release procedure & occasionally screw things up. I'll update the download files in a sec.
To fix this, edit your /themes/about/theme.php file and change:
PHP Code: $theme_version = "1.0.4";
to
PHP Code: $theme_version = "1.0.5";
Then go to your Settings -> Themes page and click "Refresh Theme List".
Incidentally, on the submissions page click you may need to refresh to reload your general.js file (that was the file that was updated). It should get rid of the horizontal scrollbar on Safari.

Thanks Ben! Are you able to elaborate on reloading the general.js file? I don't quite get it.

Oh - just some browsers cache the file (I'm looking at you, IE...). Most browsers will re-cache the new file if the file has been updated.
Often, you can just ask the browser to re-cache files by clicking "refresh" in your browser. That makes it load the new file. It's not 100%, but it often works.
Another solution is to go to the /global/scripts/general.js file in your browser and again click refresh in your browser.
Do you still see the scrollbar in Safari?

Weird... I just checked on both Mac + PC, and Safari 3 now hides the horizontal scrollbar for me.
Do this: go to your /global/scripts/general.js file in your browser and look for the line: function ellipsis(e) - it's near the bottom. After that function you should see a line like this:
Code: document.write('<style type="text/css">' + '.ellipsis { margin-right:-10000px; } #content { overflow: hidden }</style>');
Does that line look exactly like this to you? The #content { overflow: hidden } part was added to fix the bug.
