I develop using firefox and IE and I have implemented a "fix" that
displays the vertical scroll bar in firefox even if one is not
necessary to stop that exact shift. And it IE, the bar is always
there anyways. I would be interested to know what browser you were
using to determine why this solution was not working in that
particular browser. Also, if you have a fix for that sideways shift
that you have used that works on all browsers (more so than the fix I
have already used) I would appreciate your sharing it. Thanks!
