I am moving the dragon experiment to the new midas and we see this problem on the begin-of-run page.

Old midas: no horizontal scroll bar, edit-on-start names, values and comments are all squeezed in into the visible frame.

New midas: page is very wide, values entry fields are very long and there is a horizontal scroll bar.

So something got broken in the htlm formatting or sizing. I should be able to spot the change by doing
a diff between old resources/start.html and the new one.

K.O.
