I don't understand why it isn't made wide enough for the text and no more. Above, up there, each line of text is a lot less than 79 characters so there is no need to pad it out into the right edge of oblivion and create that ugly scroll bar at the bottom of the window. Having to scroll sideways is inconvenient.

Whoops... that was of course supposed to be

@retina: I have no clue what you're talking about, you must have a pretty small screen.

This is what I see. The code box is too wide to fit, and the vertical scroll bar in the code box is hidden beyond the right edge of the window. This affects all of the code boxes, not just the one I show here.

Curses! You obscured your local post time. Now we'll never know which 1/40th of the earth's surface contains your evil lair.

There is no guarantee that I run my lair according to the local time conventions. Or for that matter that I even run it on a 24 hour per day basis. Or even that I run it on a fixed period schedule. The minions get used to the odd things that happen around here and stop complaining once I show them the punishment chamber.

Most likely the lair runs on a 24h 39.5m per calendar page schedule. Or 116.75 days per calendar page.

The code box width was set to 800 pixels.

We have set it now to "auto".

Please let us know if that breaks anything!

Although the powers that be are evasive as usual viz a viz explanation, I'm currently restricted to two, and they have to be moderated beforehand.

It's much worse now! When the code box was fixed width then the vertical/horizontal scroll bars appeared in the code box when the code box contents were too big. Now the code boxes scale to fit the content of the code box which makes the box huge and pushes the horizontal scroll bar to Chrome!

A few months ago, the code boxes started to become somewhat irritating when the scroll bar moved to the bottom of the screen. Now they have become very irritating. Please set them back to the way that they were several months ago.

IMHO they should not cause a scroll bar at the bottom of the screen. The scroll bar should only be at the bottom of the code box itself.

Thanks!
