Title: responsive ext – minor issues Last modified: December 24, 2017 --- # responsive ext – minor issues * [IMTanuki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/imtanuki/) * (@imtanuki) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-ext-minor-issues/) * Hi Tobias, * I’m evaluating the responsive extension as a possible solution to the following: * Other than a border formatting issue (separate thread), table in desktop form factor is fine. * However, with mobile form factor, the default behavior for table press is to auto adjust column width to fit a mobile screen. even with 2 columns, it doesn’t view well (just too tight). * Responsive extension seems to address this (to an extent). However, 2 issues: a) Table continues to auto adjust to fit a mobile form factor. The following forces a scroll behavior: * [@media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media/) only screen and (min-device- width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 480px) { .tablepress th, .tablepress td{ min-width: 300px; } } * b) Functionally, it works. But the scroll bar at the bottom of the table is not visible until you actually grab the table and swipe left. So, a new user would probably not know to try to scroll. * Is there any way to force visibility of the scroll bar? * Many thanks! - This topic was modified 8 years, 5 months ago by [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/).

The entire columns are now displayed one on top of the other, which I think looks better on a mobile form factor…not sure there really is a way to do tables on mobile that just doesn’t look a bit off. * Pls see my other thread, as I still have problems with the right side border not displaying… * Regards! * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-ext-minor-issues/#post-9808795) * Hi, * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble. * No, sorry, I’m not aware of a way to make the scroll bar visible permanently.
