Which version of web2py? Also, have you set the "represent" attribute on 
the field in question?

And just to be clear, is the problem that the actual text truncation isn't 
happening where you expect, or is it just that the physical width of the 
table column is smaller than you'd like? Maybe show a screenshot.
