Browser problem

I have a Mac Mini running OSX 10.7 Lion. I cannot get the message windows to render within the window space. Other windows do - for example this window is OK. But when I go into a thread - any thread - the message windows is way off the edge of the screen and I have to use the horizontal scroll bar to read it. I have tried all my browsers : Camino, Omniweb, Safari and Opera. I can't use IE because I'm on a Mac.

Any ideas?

I don't know if this works on a Mac, but on a PC CTRL + (i.e press the CTRL key and the + key together) will enlarge the display and conversely CTRL - will make it smaller, which in theory should mean that any 'spill' will be reduced and you won't have to use the scroll bar.

It could also be under tools/options/content if the Mac browsers have an equivalent. I'm sure a Mac user will have an answer for you.

In the view menu, is "Actual Size" greyed or black ? If black, select it. Any better ?

I use Mac OS X 10.7 extensively during my rare PPRuNeing time... never had a problem, so I suspect it's a localised setting of some sort unique to your computer.... just a case of finding which one...

Thanks to both of you. For some inexplicable reason the problem has disappeared without me, to my best knowledge, doing anything about it. That's computers for you!
