Widths of cell

PHPRunner General questions

I have a pretty standard list which I display in a more or less "out of the box" interface.
It all works fine except for a small cosmetic detail which is of importance.
On the list page, the width of each field is adjusted automatically depending of the contents of the fields. Sometimes a field is wrapped and sometimes it is not.
I have one particular field which I do never want to wrap. This because the field becomes meaningless if you do not see the contents on one line. I could offcourse set the field widths to a fixed length which will always hold the lobngest possible string.
However, I prefer if I could force the cell to be just wide enough to hold the string without wrapping.
Is this possible?

Morten,
try to set this field view type to Custom and enter this expression there:

$value=str_replace(" "," ",htmlspecialchars($value));

Alexey,
If I want to avoid the view, edit etc colums from being wider than required, see image 1 where the columns "Edit Inline Edit View Tickbox Ref" spread.
Also allow a text field to be a fixed minimum width of 250 pixels or X number of charecters is there a way of doing this?
