The behavior is normal in DIV mode.  DIV mode, by nature, is designed to adapt to changes in screen size. 

You will have to think in terms of grouping items into cells.  Fields may be in one cell and buttons in another.  Bruce did an in depth explanation of this recently in a user group webinar.  I don't remember which one.

DIV mode works really really well once you get accustomed to it.

Hi Brian,

In DIV mode tables can be horizontal (what you are used to) and vertical (when the screen space gets too narrow.)

Of course there are settings you can choose, and things you can do to optimize the experience for both approaches.
Perhaps that would be a good question for Tursday.

But in principle, based on your screen-shot, I would say it's gone to vertical mode because the space is narrow?

cheers
Bruce
