I am using this Bootstrap tables from Fluent Kit framework and as you can see on small screen, text in cells goes to the new line instead of expanding for all the width available, which is infinite as it's inside the .table-responsive
wrapper.
In the code below, the fifth "Engine" column is an example of this behaviour:

<table class="table table-responsive">

Which looks off, like here:
Use the following style
td {
white-space: nowrap;
}
td {
white-space: nowrap;
}

Also you can add class="text-nowrap"
utility class to the td's that you specifically don't want to wrap.
