Firefox does the same thing, so this is a Gecko bug, and probably a dupe.

Assuming it's even a bug, that it. A reduced test case would be very helpful here.

This is exactly the same thing that's happening in bug 373920; it depends on font size to have the wider blocks below the right-hand sidebar.

Erm, it doesn't seem to be the same thing at all. I can "fix" the site bug (373920) by changing font size; this one isn't affected by font size at all.

Not that I'm convinced this is even a bug in Gecko. Knowing MSNBC, it's probably another site bug, but it's definitely not the same one as bug 373920.

I'm going to mark it INVALID (since I can't de-confirm it, and operating under the assumption that it's a bug with MSNBC, which seems entirely likely) pending either a reduced testcase or a proper dupe.
