No mystery bug around, but the W3C box model is working against you.
This...
#subbox{
/* lots of styles */
padding-left: 240px;
width: 100%;
}
...means the element is 100% + 240px wide in all standard-compliant
browsers. That creates the need for a scrollbar.
One solution is to get rid of that padding, and move "the space" it is
supposed to create onto an inner element - here a paragraph.
HTML:
<div id="subbox"><p><b class="bigger">Possets</b>
(<b>pah</b>-sits): Perfume delicacies meant to raise the spirits.
Archaic term, Middle English.</p></div>
CSS:
#subbox{
/* lots of styles */
/*padding-left: 240px; delete this property */
width: 100%;
}
#subbox p{
margin: 0 0 0 240px;
}
This will solve that problem.
However, the usual problem with absolute positioning of major
layout-elements - that elements won't adjust to each other, so
overlapping may occur, is still there.
