It's a table cell.  It will be the same width as the cell with the "Report on
Business" text in it.

The real problem is that you're increasing the font size, but the size of the
sidebar is set to a fixed number of _pixels_.  In my Mozilla build that sidebar
overflows even without any font zooming.  Just bad design on the part of the site.
