Are you using a custom theme?
Check each element starting the one that overlaps, firebug will be of big help. It would be great if you have a demo site so we can see it.

You need to take a look at how the CSS Box Model works. Tables work a bit differently than DIVs. Try implementing ems or percentages for your width. If the content is simply too long for the box you might have to use overflow:none.

Also, I did not see a screenshot as that would help.

the css is

table.sticky-enabled {
width:500px;
}

I added

table.sticky-enabled {
width:50%;
overflow: none;
}

Nothing works

I tried overflow: auto;

I don't know why I can not attach image in this post?

does the property overflow:none; exist? I think not

Ok I got it, I added overflow:auto; here, but there are so many items here, which one is correct

html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
border:0 none;
font-family:inherit;
font-size:100%;
font-style:inherit;
font-weight:inherit;
margin:0;
outline-color:-moz-use-text-color;
outline-style:none;
outline-width:0;
overflow:auto;
padding:0;
vertical-align:baseline;
}

So which one is it?? I suspect, tr, th, tbody... Do you have any idea?

form {

overflow:auto;

}

finally, it was freaking form for god sake

noting else works, width;50%; and overflow: none; are both useless

But thank you for opening my eyes buddy

no problem. I'm glad you were able to figure it out. Yea the form always has some nasty default margins and padding. If you haven't already, try implementing CSS Resets on your future projects. They get rid of those annoying default styles that always seem to pop up. Here's a well known one http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/

Good luck!

ah yes, I meant overflow:hidden :P

none indeed does not exist.

Yes I have heard about reset in fact I think the robots theme from lullabot has it and still the admin is messed up :)

But the overflow is perfect, because you can see the whole width of the for just scroll right. It is perfect.
