Thanks for the report! It still happens with the 0.13 alphas (and current HEAD).
I've had an initial look - that page has a colspan with a crazy high nonsensical value, but of course we shouldn't be panicking!
It'll take a few days to fix (busy life stuff), but I'm on the case.

The fix is merged, thanks again - I hope to publish a new release in the next few days.

Hi - 0.13.x isn't quite ready yet, but I've cherry-picked this and a couple of other fixes and just published 0.12.6. Sorry for the wait, and let me know if you have any issues with it!
