Hi Bill,
> This works flawlessly until I exceed a certain amount of content.
How much content would it be? Should one try to guess?... ;-p
Attaching a simple HTML file which reproduces the symptoms would help
a lot more helpful than pasting code snippets. Of course relevant code
can (and should) be pasted into the message in order to avoid anyone
to try interpreting the whole raw test case. But, in the meantime, in
order to try evaluating the problem I had to a) copy+paste the
snippets into an HTML file and b) try to guess the missing bits. I'm
attaching my interpretation of your testcase ("Amaya-Testcase.html")
for reference.
Also, you don't state in which Amaya version is this occurring (Help,
About Amaya) nor environment (operating system, including version
and/or service pack). Something which usually helps as well is
comparing with a different browser (such as Firefox) and state the
confrontation result (for example, "Firefox [version] renders as
expected").

I haven't been able to reproduce using Amata 11.3 (Nov 17 2009) on
Windows Vista SP2. The only thing which made the thing move left was
the vertical scrollbar displaying whenever needed (whenever the window
size wasn't enough to show entire contents and/or I manually added
content). If that was your problem, then I suggest getting familiar
with absolute positioning and/or the CSS overflow property. ;-)
As a side note, the only unexpected thing in the test case was the
excess of vertical whitespace in Amaya compared to Firefox (3.5.5,
also on Windows Vista SP2). Two screenshots of the rendering result
("Amaya-RenderingScreenshot.png" and
"Firefox-RenderingScreenshot.png") are attached as well for
comparison.

Hope this helps,
