I see a horizontal scrollbar in my browser (FF3) when the mouse pointer is above any view. The problem is not present with the Garland theme. I am using a custom theme.

the bug can be fixed with changing
views.css line 33

div.view div.views-admin-links {
  width: 95%;
}

to:

div.view div.views-admin-links {
  width: 200px;
}

My far is that a 200px width will fix one situation and break another. Can you determine what div gets the scrollbar? It may just be that we need to put overflow: hide instead?

I am not sure if I understand you correctly. The scrollbar is on the browser window, not inside the page..

Well, overflow: hide could still solve the scrollbar if we can figure out where to put it.

body {
  overflow: hidden;
}

if I use this css, then the scrollbar does not show up, when the mouse pointer is above the views-admin-links, but then I do not have any scrollbars in the browser, and I can't see the bottom of the page.

if I try to use the same css on the first div under body (div#body_wrapper), then it has no effect on this problem. The unwanted scrollbar is displayed in the browser.

I figured out what was the problem. I tested it with minelli theme, where to my surprise the views-admin-links works correctly with 95%. So I checked every css settings, what could be different in my theme. I found that I need position:relative; for the content and the sidebar area.
now the links works correctly with 95%..

re: #4:

@jwolf reports in #341114: Views admin links trigger horizontal scrollbar that the position: relative; fix broke IE6 in the acquia_marina theme. You might want to test that fix on your theme in IE6 before you deploy it on a live site.
