I’m running Firefox 2.0.0.4 and I just love to use my wheel mouse to zoom text. Taken to extreme this will break a layout, but I am struck that zooming these very pages—the pages of this forum—produce unpredictable results. Sometimes the layout walks off the right of my screen and sometimes the text stays within the constraints of the window.
I’d love to understand this and hope someone here can explain the different behavior of these two pages:
This page breaks immediately (with just one Ctrl+):

Whilst this page stays intact much longer (3 Ctrl+‘s):

I zoomed text with my wheel mouse and using the built-in Text Increase Ctrl+ and Text Decrease Ctrl- shortcuts. In Firefox Ctrl-0 (zero) resets text size.
