It apparently has to do with the current implementation of new CSS properties. Mozilla introduced support for overflow-x and overflow-y in 1.8a, however setting overflow-y to 'hidden' forces overflow-x to 'auto' and then you see unexpected scrollbars.

This regressed/changed between 01-Sep-2004 and 01-Oct-2004 in two steps:
-Somewhere between 01-Sep-2004 and 15-Sep-2004 the scrollbars disappeared
-Somewhere between 15-Sep-2004 and 01-Oct-2004 they came back, but on the wrong place

If you look at http://www.activewidgets.com/examples/grid/basic.htm , it almost works.

JSC complains about text-overflow:ellipsis as being deprecated

See:

So I think this is a problem with the site's layout.

At first I though to confirm this bug, because there is a small visual glitch in the example refered to above.

However, the current version of the widget package does not include this bug and works fine otherwise as well.
