OK, well this is getting weird because that is exactly the behavior I |
29 |
am seeing from both firefox and konqueror...it would appear I'm the |
30 |
only one? |

|
32 |
To be absolutely clear: When I resize the windows the text reformats |
33 |
itself on the fly from wide short paragraphs to narrow long |
34 |
paragraphs. No horizontal scroll bar which I agree is beyond annoying. |
35 |
This is the behavior I see from pretty much all well-designed web |
36 |
pages, and I rather thought it was default. |
