Column unexpectedly wide.

    Please see this table. The page’s short code for table widths is:
    [table id=1 column_widths="50px|20px|20px|20px|20px|50px|20px|130px" automatic_url_conversion=true /]
    and the column widths are correctly called up when I look at the source code. However, Column 3 (‘Where’) is disproportionately wide. Any thoughts on why that is, and what I should do to correct?

    The theme is a child of Twenty Twelve.

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    The reason for this are the long URLs in that column, like

    https://www.pandasaero.co.uk/find.html

    The browser treats those as one long word, and as they don’t contain spaces or hyphens, can not add word-wrapping to them. Due to this, they increase the column widths. I suggest to maybe change the link text of these links to something short, like “Website”.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    OK, thanks. Oddly I’ve now found that both desktop and iOS versions of Safari cope well – but IE11 doesn’t.
