    Front end developers have a weird obsession with preventing users from comfortably reading small pieces of information. So much effort and money has been put into the task of breaking good enough native widgets to add (tiny) scrollbars and ellipsis.

    That one with the - sign problem is not a missing nbsp, the problem is that the column is too small. There are no spaces in the numbers (just look at -$50,47). In other words if there's ever a transaction >= $1000, the $ would also be on the previous line, and if the number gets too large (5 digits or more), the number itself might be broken up.

    I can't recall ever seeing a drop-down box that had separate scrolling for each individual row. It looks like, instead of using a normal <select> control (with <option> elements), they just made their own custom drop-down selection using a <div> or similar for each row with overflow CSS allowing scrolling.

    It's really hard to fathom just wtf they thinking or how they went about testing this (assuming they did.)
