I see. Usually you can see this from the content, because half of a 
letter or a word is missing, or a statement isn’t complete.

But I agree it’s not 100% ideal. It would be nicer if we could get the 
background to match the overflow, so that we can use the horizontal 
scrollbar on the window without the overflow rendering. But... CSS can 
be fussy about controlling the horizontal width.

Somewhat. :)

Not enough in my opinion. I’d rather have the source presented to me 
exactly the way it is.
