Agreed. Would a div-based layout have the same problem ?

Otherwise, IMHO we should drop table-based layout (and the sidebar, presumably) for the main body of all pages, except the home page.

This has always bugged me about Plone too.
It seems like every second page is way wider than 
my browser window. This is partly the result of long
<pre> lines, which is made worse by the fact that
the content area is a table cell .. this means that 
the longest <pre> line sets the width of all the text.
It would be much better if only the too-long lines 
extended off the side of the screen, and the other 
lines wrapped. IMHO this consequence of the table-
based layout is a major downer :/

The table on a member's page (eg.
http://zope.org/Members/jens/view ) also gets much too
wide very easily. 

I like to bump up the text size to 120% or so for easy
reading on my laptop, and on new zope.org I can't, 
unless I want to scroll horizontally a lot.
