Hello Outlook,

this has to do with the definition of the th element in your css file. It is set to have a 5px padding and a background that repeats horizontally (only).

Because some of your words break, the background image is not high enough to cover the complete table (th) heights and you get the white space.

You cloud: use a different (higher) bg image, shorten your words, delete some columns, lower the padding of the th element, ...

The problem is the height of the background image. When you start displaying a lot of extra fields in the view they word wrap expanding the height of the table cells so the background image is no longer tall enough and then what you see if the white background image at the bottom edge and of course cant see white text on a white background.

Keep in mind that the fields shown there are controlled by the viewers usergroup and by default all the fields are shown to admin where as for normall users they generally arent.

What that means is you may only be having that issue when you are viewing the page as admin and it may not be worth trying to fix if it doesnt happen for normal site viewers.

If your bound and determined to have it fixed I would start by creating a new background image that is slightly taller and see if that helps.

Thank you Canariasdata and Lhotch for you fast replies! Unfortunately I try to stay away from modifying code that's why I like the developer ed, so with that said it was easier to go with Lhotch's comment about the word wrap. That is what happened, so I simply changed the usergroup viewing permissions and problem fixed.

Thanks you both again.
