 > Well why would there not be a scrollbar? Isn't that sort of odd that the
 table is allowed to go outside the bounds and not have a scrollbar on the
 window? I mean, if there is no way to fix it I'll just live with it but
 that just seems like odd behavior. Usually when stuff goes outside the
 bounds of the window a scrollbar shows up. That's how things usually work.

 similar data you're suppose to show it in a table. Kind of like how Posts,
 Pages, etc are.

 I was talking to Mark Jaquith about this issue. It seems that the
 {{{overflow: hidden}}} is needed for some reason or the administration
 theme starts to freak out. However, it might have been left over for
 legacy reasons and no longer needed.

 Your problem stems from the navigation being added to the left side. It
 works in 2.6, because you had the extra space to display your table and it
 fit perfectly. It may still be fixed before 2.7 is released.

 In my humble opinion, your form will look a lot better if it was flat
 instead of in a table. Not everything needs to be in a table. The plugins
 which worked perfectly in 2.7, did not use a table. When I lowered the
 resolution, the scroll bar appeared for them.
