Looks like the issues with the SeaHawk forum display are, in part, down to my tweaks to the macros/styling that control the position of the search box in the forum.

If you squeeze the width of the window on a desktop computer you'll see that as the search box approaches the "Options" link, initially, that item drops below the search box. But squeeze tighter and  it returns to the left margin.

You will also notice that it is while it is in the lowered position that you begin to lose the "Views" column off the right of the screen. This happens in two stages. while there desktop-style horizontal menu is visible and again on the narrower display when the mobile-style three-bar menu button is visible.

I am sure this is caused by my tweaks to Nabble's standard code that drops the search box onto the same line as the left-aligned main forum menu options.

Mind you, I'm still not clear what this means for you. However, as my SeaHawk forum and yours, both have some fairly long words in the first column in the main forum table, I suspect that it is related to the way that column word-wraps and that means that a solution will be difficult to find.
