Description

FSS.Layout.Columns of the flexible type do not extend to the right margin of the browser page - there is "leftover" black space on far right, with the amount varying depending on the # of columns. The amount of wasted space is proportional to the width of the browswer window.

Environments

XP, Opera 9.6

    This issue is due mostly to the nature of sub-pixel rounding in browsers:

    Whats happening is some browsers have less leftover space than others, due to the different alogrithms they use to evaluate sub-pixels.

    A workaround is if you dont absolutely need flexible columns with gutters, you could use flexible containers which have less data for rounding errors and should fit "tighter"
