I think this is the crux of the problem. From what Aaron tells me, Monobook
and Vector are already using different offsets here. I've not had a chance
to do a deep dive myself, so that I think you've identified what's the most
challenging here. This is one of those areas in CSS where different
browsers handle things very differently, so getting this right has been a
bit of a mess.
At any rate, thanks again for looking, and if you have more ideas or do more
digging, please let us know. Aaron and Adam (from the Usability team) are
hopefully going to get a chance to look at this in more detail next week,
but I'm sure they'd be delighted if someone figures out the right way of
dealing with this before then.
Rob
