Well, I guess the first step would be ensuring that the version strings
aren't wrong in the first place. Beyond that, setup should probably:
- Place some sort of sensical limit on column widths.
- Handle strings which exceed the current cell's width by truncating it (as
it does now), and displaying the full text as a mouseover popup (the yellow
box with text things) (which it does not do now).
