I get this all the time, using a screen resolution of 800x600, and it
drives me mad! It happens on other browsers I use too (Opera,
Firefox), so it isn't specific to IE.

I don't know whether this bugbear is my pet hate or if it is having
to scroll sideways to see the whole page. Close-run thing anyhow.
