Not all pages, but (for example) [imdb.com](http://imdb.com) [msn.com](http://msn.com) [cnn.com](http://cnn.com), [foxnews.com](http://foxnews.com) (local news stations).com, ebay and many others (but not the Dope, oddly) have just a very small of the page off the screen, so I have to scroll left or right to get it all. I noticed it just this evening, and a reboot did not reset anything. Wha’ happen? ---

Did you accidentally zoom in a small bit? Try Ctrl-hyphen, Ctrl-=, or Ctrl-Zero. ---
