Message composition & search window width

AI Thread Summary
The message composition and search windows on the platform are currently too wide, resulting in a horizontal scroll bar, which some users attribute to a blank space on the upper left of the page. Although one user reported issues at a display resolution of 1280 by 720, others confirmed that changing to the same resolution resolved the problem for them. The message composition window appears to function correctly without the scroll bar, while the search results window still exhibits the width issue. Users are actively sharing screenshots to clarify the display problems. Overall, the discussion highlights inconsistencies in window sizing and user experiences at different resolutions.

The current message composition and search windows are so wide that they display with a horizontal scroll bar. This is apparently to accommodate a mostly blank window on the upper left of the page. (My display resolution is 1280 by 720 - yes, I know that isn't the optimal setting for physicsforums, but this problem is recent.)

Can you send a screenshot? I just changed to 1280x720 and everything displays fine.

The message composition window doesn't have the problem (at the moment). Here is the advanced search window:

It looks fine now - no horizontal scroll bar.
 
The search results window still has the problem.
