Arron, Many paged/printing tests from Microsoft have/use and reuse the expression "standard letter sized sheet of paper" but such expression does not equate to explicit dimensions and such expression may vary depending on the continent. If "standard letter sized sheet of paper" means US Letter (216mm width by 279mm height which is 8˝ inches width by 11 inches height), then I think some tests where measurement or overflow situation are being tested should indicate so. I think this should even be clearly mentioned in the common or uncommon assumptions paragraphs: what is exactly a standard letter sized sheet of paper. I believe - and I could be wrong here - that standard letter sized sheet of paper is US Letter: 216mm width by 279mm height which is 8˝ inches width by 11 inches height in North America A4: 210mm by 297mm height in European Union countries. " Today the [A4] standard has been adopted by all countries in the world except the United States and Canada. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size#A4 Another issue is page margins for printing: reliable and trustworthy testing would require also to know such values or to propose such values. I printed position-fixed-005 with several browsers - with default margins - and the difference of margins is rather very big, unexplicably big. I have checked the page setup settings. With Chrome 21.0.1180.89 with default settings, once printed, the right margin of position-fixed-005 is at least 15% of the whole paper sheet and I have default margins set.
