Semantic Differential right answer width problem with Unicode (?) was created by TooNice
Well, I am not 100% sure it is to do with Unicode, but when I am using Japanese/Chinese characters, it seems that the answer in the far right column only use one or two character(s) per line in that cell. As follows:

As you can see, in the first array, in English, everything looks fine, but the second array has that issue. It is only cosmetic, but it would still be nice to be able to fix it.

This is on Version 2.00+ Build 131107. Base language for the survey is Japanese if that matters.

Thanks.

Edit: It seems the issue is caused by full width and half-width characters:

I used half-width katakana in the first row in the first row and everything is fine. However full-width alphabet in the second column has the same issue.

The browser interprets those as separate words so allows line-breaks. The only way to fix it would be to absolutely define the width of those elements with CSS.

And try another template too : maybe citronade ?

Thanks for the reply. Would it be possible to absolutely define the width of those elements of only the last column? Or perhaps the first and the last? And how could I do this (I am a beginner)?

Thanks.

Edit:

I just gave Citronade a go, but it is mostly the same (instead of two characters per line, it is now a single character per line). Will try a few other templates just in case there is one that works.

Edit 2:

Changing templates does not seem to work. And it does seem that a new word introduces a line break each time (I just tested with just in English), but I wonder why it is set to behave in this way when the left column does not behave in such manner.

Try adding something like this to the end of template.css (replacing "12345" with your question ID )

Code:
 
#question12345 table.subquestions-list {
  width: 90% !important;
}
 
#question12345 table.subquestions-list col {
  width: auto !important;
}
 
#question12345 table.subquestions-list thead td {
  width: 25%;
}
 
#question12345 table.subquestions-list thead th {
  width: 10%;
}

>hat is your LimeSUrvey version and build number ?

WIth the last build : last coluln have same width than first.
Code:
<colgroup class="col-responses">
  <col width="10%" class="col-answers">
<col width="13.3%" class="odd">
<col width="13.3%" class="even">
<col width="13.3%" class="odd">
<col width="13.3%" class="even">
<col width="13.3%" class="odd">
<col width="10%" class="answertextright even">
  </colgroup>
And it can be set with (Sub) question width

@tpartner: Hmm, I just tried it, making sure that the question ID is adjusted accordingly, but it did not work.

@DenisChenu: Which file is the following code in?

I am using Version 2.00+ Build 131107. Having a bit of trouble with ComfortUpdate, I know there is a fix for that, but I don't fully understand what I need to do, and I am only having problem with this issue, and I really need to get my current survey up soon, I'd rather not make any big changes (to avoid making a mistake that would be time consuming to fix).

Can you activate a test survey for us to see?

(I added new words in first question to make sure that it is the line break are caused by additional words)

Edit: Just to make sure I didn't misunderstand the instructions..

(I also made sure that the template is selected)

Ah, in that version, change "table.subquestions-list" to "table.subquestion-list".

Code:
#question150 table.subquestion-list {
  width: 90% !important;
}
 
#question150 table.subquestion-list col {
  width: auto !important;
}
 
#question150 table.subquestion-list thead td {
  width: 25%;
}
 
#question150 table.subquestion-list thead th {
  width: 10%;
}

That did it! Thanks! Is the previous solution for version 2.05, or is that version free from this issue?
