Research direction

Start by comparing this report with issue #44 and reproducing the header and column alignment problem at normal zoom. Check the reported $.fn.dataTableSettings[0].oBrowser.bScrollbarLeft value and the attached screenshots; done means the header and columns align without relying on an unexplained padding adjustment.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
