I love LWN, but they sure need to fix their page code. That article is wider than my 1280x800 screen. Sheeeh!

Is something stopping you from trying it yourself?

the article shows correctly in a 1600x1200 fullscreen... Unfortunately, I 'never' run the browser fullscreen, so that of no help at all. The fact is that the damn thing just doesn't wrap correctly. Talk about amateur... No... even most amateurs would know better.

1c3d0g,

The way you put it, TC must have thought you were asking her to check if the page worked for you :)

i got annoyed by that too. however if you turn off the stylesheets, the problem goes away :-)

And I should have to do that why?

you should not have to, but if you really want to read something then doing so is more convenient than pulling your hair. something which i have been doing before i discovered that disabling stylesheets would help.

greetings, eMBee.
