Mozilla w/o Sidebar, min width.
I noticed this problem first at geocities but I when I tried it on other web
sites the same problem persisted. When I changed the window from maximized to a
normal sized window the vertical scroll bar was still apparent. Then when I
resized the window so it covered half the screen (top-to-bottom, left side) the
scroll bar disappeared. If a made the window larger the scroll bar reapeared.
And once again when I made the window smaller the scroll bar disappeared.

This issue happens in June 30th Build (1999063908) with all platform. This
problem isn't geocities specific since I reproduce it on any site.
It took me a while to figure out what this report was talking about, so I'm leaving a simpler description
and changing the summary for when I return. The bug is, AppRunner doesn't always treat its content
correctly when it's sized too small horizontally. You'd expect a horizontal scrollbar or the content
to reflow to fit. It behaves correctly down to a point, and then simply starts clipping. For instance,
if you load
<html><body>
arglebargle gullipher whoosh<br>
<button>Rub me the wrong way</button>
</body></html>
and shrink the window horizontally until content starts falling off the right edge, the content isn't
accomodated; it's just clipped. This happens with both HTML and XUL, and doesn't happen
in Viewer.
Summary: No scroll bar when not maximized and less than half the screen → content clipped when window sized too small horizontally
This sounds like some other element in the browser window has a high minimum width,
and is preventing the entire contents of the browser window from shrinking narrower than
itself. The content area frame won't shrink to fit the window, and so horizontal scrollbars
are never invoked.
You can see the point at which the right edge of the HTML content area is clipped out, when
its black border disappears, right about when the right edge of the window reaches the rightmost
edge of the menubar. That's a likely culprit, though my attempt to put a min-width on the menubar
didn't seem to affect anything. Still, I think this is a navigator.xul problem, so off it goes to Matt.

The problem has gotten better, but not in all cases.
I'll attach a few screenshots to explain what I mean here:
1) Mozilla with no Sidebar as narrow as I could make it. Even the minimum width
here leaves enough room for a scrollbar/thumb/arrows.
2) Mozilla with an expanded Sidebar and a custom width. Note the lack of
horizontal scrollbar for the page content.
3) Mozilla with an expanded Sidebar as narrow as I could make it. The Sidebar
content (any XUL?) gets clipped now, with no scrollbar.
Maybe cases 2 and/or 3 should be separate bugs?
