Comment 2 for bug 1396364

Hi David,

Thanks for the bug report! I can confirm that the same thing happens in Mahara 15.04 as well.

The problem is more noticeable if you're using the French translation, because the translations are longer than the English versions. But the same thing does happen in English as well, if you set the page narrowly enough.

Things we could do to fix this:

1. Currently it appears the column headers are set to disallow word wrap. Allowing word wrap would help.

2. Decreasing the font size of the column headers might work as well.

3. (Most radically) use a JS library or HTML5 to rotate the column headers so that the text runs vertically or diagonally up from the table, instead of horizontally.

Since the page is still useable, and it's only an admin interface, I'm setting the bug to "low" priority.

Cheers,
Aaron
