Dunno. Here is how it looks like, when I force the window to the width  
of the monitor -windoze users call that full screen or something:
<http://dev.l-c-n.com/_b/ml.png>
I zoomed the text, note how the selected part overflows the sand  
background (and is then unreadable).
<http://dev.l-c-n.com/_b/ml2.png>
At my normal window width, no text zoom. Note the heavy horizontal  
scrollbar.

Safari 3.2 and 4b displays exactly the same.
On a another Mac with a 24"inch monitor, it behaves all the same.

On Ubuntu Linux, same thing.

I like the colours, btw.
