just noticed it does happen to mine but only if you squash the box up really small, like smaller than 640x480-small - otherwise, it's fine.

No idea

I tried it on 3 machines all showed the same problem. Screen resolutions 1024 or above

Why is it only happening to certain people though?

It will be the way that IE handles text widths on floated elements.

#leftmenu is 20% #content is 76% + 4% padding and because IE doesn't always constrain containers to their set size when the text expands within the element. So as the text in #content flows it will push the container beyond it's supposed maximum of 80% and because it's floated right it will get pushed down until the text flows again and drops the container width back.

either 74% width or a fixed px sixe for padding should cure it

I'm using IE 6.0.2

That's weird. What version of IE are you guys using?

I checked it on my home and work computer, and I posted this in another forum where they see the same problem.

Doesn't do it for me either

Can't help as it doesn't do that for me - used IE and resized the window to several different sizes and it all displayed ok
