It's just that the textarea is too wide for this layout at 800x600, and the workaround for the original bug means it won't shrink it to fit. I just dropped it from 70 columns to 63, which looks narrow enough. #2 is an odd one - you're probably right about it being the terminal. Though I noticed something interesting on this page. Right now Waypath is listing an apparently-related post in Japanese, and it's screwing up the character set, resulting in long, unwrappable lines about twice the width of the page. And on IE, that means it stretches all the boxes to accommodate it, causing problem #1 anyway! #1 is actually caused by #3, which isn’t quite the same as the original IE comment bug.

In the individual-post screens, the border at the top stops about 1/4 inch from the right side of the white area on the right side. Not getting this on the main page. Resolution is 800 x 600. 2. The related posts on other blogs aren't all showing up consistently, but all the space is allotted. I can force them to appear by highlighting them. This may be a problem with my terminal as this entire page has just done the same thing when I checked the preview (see #3). 3. Return of the Buggything with the input window. Huzzah for the preview. (If only I'd known about it when making my other post....blah.) FYI/TMI, I'm on IE 6.0.2800.1106. I’m not getting the weirdness depicted in that screenshot, but here’s what I *am* getting:

No one complained, which probably says something about the size of the IE 5.0 audience. Fixed again. *Sigh* It seems when I adapted the template for WordPress 1.2 last month, I ended up counteracting the work-around for the IE 5.0 bug, so anyone looking at the site with IE 5.0 during the last 3 weeks has seen the messed-up headers and borders.

I'm a bit disappointed they still haven't fixed this in Safari 1.2... Other than that looks good; also seems ok in IE 5.2.
