Hi @dontstl, there is a horizontal scrollbar in the bottom which may not be in your view port. You could use Shift + scroll or a different view other than table.

Well that is a terrible solution if it is one at all.. so your saying that cut off documentation is acceptable? I would beg to differ. Having to horizontally scroll when there is no indication that you would have to do so is a horrible UX/UI experience, not to mention terrible for QA and poor design. You should really make the container wider to fit the content.. Its also going to be a hit on your analytics because you are violating the rules, by having cut off content. I'll remember that your site is designed terribly and do what I can to use it while I have to. Which hopefully won't be long. What good is documentation if you can't use it? Discouraged and surprised that you have no intention of fixing such a glaring issue. Bummer for all the users 😞🤷🏼‍♂️

This is a known issue (#34085) with the table view and unfortunately there is no simple solution. That's why the list view was introduced (#37405)—to circumvent the inherent flaws with the table layout. If the horizontal scrolling in some of the API reference tables is too frustrating, I would recommend switching to the list view instead, which does not have this problem. Once you've selected list view on one API reference page, that selection will carry over to all of the other pages you visit.
