Thanks, confirmed (comes to 641px in my browser). Problem is
that constraint seems to be generated dynamically.

This looks like a JS hack for the multi-column CSS problem
(trying to have multiple columns, and having each column have the
height of the tallest one).
CSS3 has columns. Current browser support:
http://caniuse.com/#feat=multicolumn
However, in this case, this seems unnecessary, as the left part
of the page will rarely be taller than the right part, and even
in that case, the layout looks acceptable. Thus, it's possible to
simply set the vertical separator as a non-repeating background
on the left side of the right-hand column.
I was going to send a pull request to
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dconf.org , but that
repository is out of date. Here's some "patches" and a patched up
page to test: http://thecybershadow.net/d/dconf-org-layout/
(Alternatively, just use a table.)
