Hello,

If you have a query with lots of different criteria, IE will not submit the "change columns" screen.

Works fine in Firefox, etc. If I change the method to POST (change-columns.html.tmpl), it works fine in IE. Apparently IE maxes-out at 2048 chars for GET methods (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q208427/ and http://www.kryogenix.org/days/2005/04/21/littleHtml)

Regards,
Graeme

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drop attached html page onto a web server (this is the change columns screen)
2. See that "change columns" button doesn't submit
