Attachment: this page shows the wide screen problem

this was found by nemo in the community while testing his websites with fennec.  Basically he has a webform that has three fields (1 input, 2 selects) aligned horizontally.  He has used css to ensure this is the case.  What happens is that fennec displays the webpage, but the 3rd element (select box) on the far right is partially off screen.

Functionality works ok when you click the drop down to select an item, it is works:
desktop: pops open and goes outside the main window
device: slides the whole drop down to the left while selecting it


I wonder if we can do this better with scaling or scrolling.  All in all, it is a bit confusing for the end user.

this bug still ends up with part of the text off the screen and not able to pan to it.

We now zoom out to show the whole page when it first loads.
