I believe this has been covered in another bug, but I can't find it. The
Washington Post has a feature window that pops up to show graphics. It has a
fixed size, so unless you resize your fonts, it won't all fit. The code in the
link that  opens the popup calls for "no scrollbar". Any way to override that
for us users who need larger font sizes. The work-around is to go into the page
info for the popup, copy it and paste it into the main browser window. That
opens the page in a full window. That's OK for me, but other old users who are
not as knowlegeable would not know how to do that.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set font size to 24.
2. Go to http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A25295-2002Dec22.html
3. Click on "Was this the Garden of Eden?" in the feature box on the right side
of the page.

Actual Results:  
Text too large to fit in popup window.

Expected Results:  
Supplied scrollbars in fixed window, overriding website's instructions.

Sourcecode of window-invoking link:
