OK, well this is getting weird because that is exactly the behavior I am seeing from both firefox and konqueror...it would appear I'm the only one? To be absolutely clear: When I resize the windows the text reformats itself on the fly from wide short paragraphs to narrow long paragraphs. No horizontal scroll bar which I agree is beyond annoying. This is the behavior I see from pretty much all well-designed web pages, and I rather thought it was default. D -- Support the mob or mysteriously disappear...
