Without the width specified the p tag block will will only be as wide
as it needs to be for it's content. There's not enough "content
width" in the image and caption to push it out to the width of your
containing div.
What can sometimes help to visualize what's going on is to set a
different temporary background color to the ("mis-behaving") tag.
Makes it easier to see where the problem(s) lie, and finding the real
problem is often the biggest obstacle in working out the fix.
