An horizontal scrolling bar appears in certain pages (ex. my account, add page, add poll, add story, content views...). Mostly in every page taking input or similar when using the bluemarine theme with 4.7.x , this has been confirmed at http://drupal.org/node/79773

It shows up in Mozilla Firefox, probably something is messed in the default CSS.

Screenshot attached.

This happened IMHO because the page had total elements widths reaching 100%, some browsers tend to draw an empty horizontal scrollbar.

This patch does make the empty horizontal scrollbar disappear, but also makes the vertical scrollbar disappear! At that point you're totally unable to scroll the page at all.

Here's a fix. Set's "display:block" for #header & #content.

Err, sry. Thought header & body were div's. Didn't look at source. It does fix the scroll bar issue but the inner cells start freaking out.

This is a bug with FireFox 1.5 & below. You have to either live with it or try some other workaround.

This one's an easy fix, apply overflow: -moz-scrollbars-vertical; to the body tag, but if you ever have a narrow window trying to scroll side ways, it won't happen.

The other is to rework the header so it doesn't use tables so it can stretch 100% of the width then set the body to less than 100% as that doesn't have a color set to make it noticeable. But this is such a minor bug, I think it can be ignored.
