Generally PM's pages fit nicely in the available width of my browser's window. Occasionally, though, it doesn't, and an horizontal scrollbar is displayed. Personally, I find this very annoying: I don't really know what it's due to (yes, I know I may look into the page source and check for myself - just don't have time to), but even though it doesn't happen on a regular basis, I find it disappointing and I hope that there could be a mechanism to prevent such inconveniences at all.

For those reading this post now, it's happening in this very moment on Seekers of Perl Wisdom.
