 * Hi Tobias,
 * great plugin! But on [http://goo.gl/QMjQaX](http://goo.gl/QMjQaX) i have to problems:
   
   First you see in the first column (using datatables_fixedcolumns=”left”) the 
   scrollbar in the last picture. How i can fix that? Other thing is in the last
   column (Besonderheiten) i did edit the “Custom CSS” textarea in the “Plugin Options”
   with
 * .tablepress-id-11 .column-17 {
    width: 300px; }
 * But it doesn’t work also…
 * Thank you for your Help!!!
    Dirk

 * Hi Dirk,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * That issue with the scroll bars looks really weird, but unfortunately, I don’t
   know where this is coming from, or how it can be fixed 🙁 As I’m not the developer
   of the actual FixedHeader JavaScript code (I only make it available as a TablePress
   Extension), I’m not that familiar with its internals. I can therefore only suggest
   that you ask the DataTables support team at [http://www.datatables.net/](http://www.datatables.net/)
   for help on this.
 * Regarding the width issue, you could try to add the `!important` keyword, i.e.
 *     ```
       .tablepress-id-11 .column-17 {
         width: 300px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
    Tobias
