@d3zorg You can solve that with CSS. Depending on what you want to achieve, you can use:

``

```
.topic-list td.posters {
white-space: nowrap;
}
```

This will force no line-breaks, so the long name will simply overflow past the container’s right edge.

Or you could also play around with this setting:  
``

```
  text-wrap: ellipsis
```

which will apend “…” to any overflowing text instead of wrapping it to the next line. [See here](http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_text-overflow.asp).
