I don't know about the OP, but for me, running Firefox 1.5.0.3 and Internet Explorer 6.0, there are multiple elements which don't size correctly. Navbars wrap and column items extend past the edge of the grey area. The short answer is the layout uses px sizing to hard-code layout dimensions rather than allow the browser to resize the layout to meet the requirements of the user. This and other design and usability problems were brought to the attention of those involved in the new layout's development back when the new design was first launched. A professional web designer for whom I installed her development and productions servers, included an offer to polish the layout to meet design and accessibility best practices. She said it was the least she could do for FreeBSD making it possible to start her business "without giving Microsoft one damn penny." The response? Silence. I say just close the PR. No one cared then; why should they care now?
