354168 - Page viewed with uneccessarily large left margin (800x600 Resolution)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Chad McCarty]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

When viewing any HTML it is viewed with a large left margin and scroll does not appear even though data is represented outside of visible range of the window. When viewing images, such as jpeg, this error does not occur. I am viewing on a small resolution of 800x600 due to laptop limitations. Some error in how the browser justifies the position of the page when centering. Good luck!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set resolution to 800x600
2.Start Firefox
Actual Results:  
See above.

Expected Results:  
Useless left margin that renders Firefox tedious if not useless.

Shown me the page in a manner that allowed me to view all information on the page.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

This is a DUPE of the bug wrt having lots of stuff in the status bar.

I see no value in having this old bug open if we think it's a dupe (comment 3).

-> INCOMPLETE
