User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827

When I visit news.com.com.com.com, the left edge of the page (about 32 pixels'
worth) is invisible, truncated off to the left of the window. The horizontal
scrollbar won't let me scroll left to read the truncated text.

It's possible that this is news.com.com.com doing something stupid with style
sheet left margins, but even so I think Mozilla should always allow scrolling to
the left if there's text to the left.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit site.
2. Try to read article.
3. Find you can't scroll left.

It may help if your browser window is a reasonable 640 pixels wide, if you're
one of those freaks who browses with it set to fullscreen.
Actual Results:  
I couldn't read the article.

Expected Results:  
Given me the option to scroll left and read the stuff rendered off the page to
the left.

I don't believe I have any special plugins or settings.
can you attach a screenshot ?

I've seen this before and I know there was a bug about it, but I haven't been
able to find it.  This bug needs to be dup'ed against it.

The inability to scroll to it is a duplicate, but what's the cause of it being
off to the left in the first place?
