Did you ever experienced the problem when you have a couple of items in the same line/row in a HTML region and you have a select list (in the next row) which becomes so Hugh that the upper items places more and more to the right. It just looks ugly and the select list value
normally changes dynamically.
What to do?

Problem: The more text different there are, the more
2. Creating a SPACER item
Create a new display only item called :P1_SPACER in front of the first text item.
Now add the following text under "Element Table Cell Attributes" > style="width:200px"
