The problem is that Ubuntu is my main web development platform. The box size set to 15 results in quite a bit of padding on the right side, enough to mess up displays for FF on *Ubuntu only. Chrome does not have this problem running on *Ubuntu's

Problem exists for Releases 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 (this system) as well as 11.10
