Firefox + scrollbars in wrong places.

[Joe]

Firefox is putting scrollbars in some pretty weird places:

(see to the right side of post)

Any idea what's causing this weirdness?

Your theme.

[Joe]

Nah, they all do it.

Your resolution sucks at life, get a bigger monitor/better video card.

It does that for me too, but only when there's a quote/code tag.  Even if there is plenty of space, now matter how big I make the window, the scrollbar is still there.

It's the fault of the theme or the browser parsing the theme, obviously.

I've never experienced this personally, so I'd recommend reinstalling Firefox?  I could pull a Blizzard and say: "It's working as intended."

I don't have money to blow on a video card I'll never use for anything this one can't do.
My 17-inch monitor is quite nice, thank you.
If 1280x1024 sucks at life I'd hate to see what you're using for a monitor.

[...] Even if there is plenty of space, now matter how big I make the window, the scrollbar is still there.

Yeah, the picture doesn't do a great job of showing this, but that's the problem.

Changing the theme did nothing.

Tried reinstalling Firefox (well, upgrading, but the problem is in both versions). If you're a Linux user, what window manger do you use? I'm using GNOME.

XFCE, Window Maker, Fluxbox and KDE.  I've never ran into this problem.

Also, I assume you've tried viewing the page in alternate browsers?

Mine does that, sometimes, too...depends on the site I'm at usually.

Might be an option.  Personally, I like it when there are overly wide pages/images so i can just scroll through that one post.

My theme doesn't do it, but when I change themes it does. I blame shitty themes.

Yeah, it's normal for it to happen on the default theme when a post extends a resolution's horizontal limit.  However, Joe's example shows vertical scrollbars, which should never be present for a normal post.

For those curious (Quik will know this.  Sorry in advance if you do too.), it's the result of setting the CSS property overflow to auto. (overflow: auto;).

Oh, you meant SMF theme? Haha, I thought you meant GNOME theme.
