You have not needed comma in the colModel in the last column definition. If you check this in IE6 you will have error:

{value:"Active:Active;Inactive:Inactive"}}, <----- ]

my browser version mozilla 3.0.5 and jqgrid version 3.3

Do you have any other options connected with the grid width. Also post the entry configuration of the grid. And by the way which version of jqGrid do you use?
