Currently, tables of methods have horizontal scrollbars when their contents extend beyond the screen width (which they almost always do).

This makes it a bit finicky to use in practice, since the tables aren't necessarily very tall -- below is a screenshot of the "Constructing arrays" section of the NumPy documentation, which contains a one-line tall table. Thus you need to be precise when scrolling, and once you do so, you end up covering the text you are trying to read. At the same time, it's annoying to have to scroll several screen widths to read the documentation for a single function.

This is not much an issue on the existing (non-responsive) site as you can simply zoom accordingly; zooming on the new responsive layout appears to be impossible. Another solution here would be to wrap the tables somehow so they stay within the screen width.
