I first noticed this behavior when I installed update status module, the table invaded the roght sidebar. Watchdog does, too. I posted this bug report with screenshots http://drupal.org/node/124580

Instead of adding the same screenshots here and duplicating content unnecessarily, I think it is better that you watch them in the related report.

While the bug isn't corrected with the next core drupal release, could you please post here the code I must edit and which file so in addition to correcting your css code?

In my oppinion this would be easily solved using overflow: scroll in the css, but I don't know which selector to use for this. I would need some help on this.

This works quite nicely in the modules management screen. I include a screenshot showing a scroll bar.

Use an overflow:auto on the following div :

.left-corner {
overflow:auto;
}

When you scroll with that, the entire page content will move (center column content), not just the table.

Unfortunately, the table is not wrapped in a div so that we can apply a CSS overflow:auto on its wrapper only.

The overflow:scroll adds a vertical scroll bar even though it's not needed.

I suggest you inserting this fix in the theme stylesheets if you consider it apropriate. so that this doesn't happen again in future releases. Right now, I edited style.css of garland and the issue got fixed. I am not marking this bug fixed to make sure you read the comment.

Considering the age of this issue with no responses and that D5 is unsupported, I am closing this issue.
