I've started to see this a lot lately. Lines of text get the last few pixels of the last character cut off. See this very clearly in the last headline on

http://www.severeshock.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=5&Itemid=28

But I've seen it in many other places too. Often shows up in the "Top in All Topics" sidebar on digg.com. Depends entirely on the text in the sidebar though.

In theory we could be doing the right thing here and the sites have broken CSS. However I see this so often that I suspect that is not it.

In the screenshot you can see not just the cut headline, but also a few of the rows are suffering from the same problem

What platform?

I don't see the issue with the cut headline, but I see the text in the rows being cut off.
But I'm seeing the same problem in IE7 and Opera9.20 and on branch.
There is a div with class=floatbox that has overflow:hidden that seems to cause the layout problem.

Since this seems to be a common problem across browsers, this seems to me a website issue.

OK, sounds like this is invalid then.

The issue you're seeing with digg should probably be a separate bug report.
