 * Hi All,
 * I have on my site 2 tables. The settings of both tables are the same, but the
   behavior of the first table is different than the behavior of the second table.
 * When I make my browser window less wide and then wide again, then the layout 
   of table 1 gets scrambled. Rows do not align with eachother anymore and the images
   are being resized with a lot of white space.
 * The second table is behaving the way I want it to be. Scrollable, no image resize,
   and the rows keep being alligned with eachother. Now I want the first table to
   behave just like that but I cannot seem to figure out what I am missing.
 * I hope someone can help.
 * Best.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsame-tables-same-settings-different-responsive-behavior%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * That’s essentially happening because the browser is able to reduce the column
   widths for the first table, when you make the browser more narrow. For the second
   table, that’s not possible, as the images are already narrow to being with.
 * It should be possible to reduce that effect by setting a minimum cell width. 
   For that, please add this to the “Custom CSS” textarea on the “Plugin Options”
   screen of TablePress:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       .tablepress-id-3 td {
           width: 170px;
           min-width: 170px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Regards,
   Tobias
