Hmm. Good idea. I'll try to implement that some time soon. It might have to
wait for the following version, but with a little luck it'll be in the next
update.

Thanks for the feedback!

The current layout is a carefull tradeoff between a whole bunch of factors,
among them a myriad browser bugs and general wonkyness with float, and in
particular float: right. I don't want to mess with it right now, but I'll
flag it for attention once the next update is done.

Ugh! This had /better/ be a Mozilla bug. Because I don't think I have the
energy to tweak that code again. :-(

I don't run Moz 1.1 anywhere ATM, but if you give me a holler if it doesn't
appear to be a Moz bug I'll look into it.
