Main content in this CSS columnar layout goes in here

Steps to reproduce: a) increase text size with View/Text Size/Larger or b) decrease text size with View/Text Size/Smaller.

Actual results in MSIE 7 and in MSIE 8 beta 1: the (red-bordered) vertical sidebar navigation box a) will spill outside on the left while the gray left column does not increase its width or b) will shrink horizontally while the gray left column does not decrease its width. The gray left column width a) does not increase or b) does not decrease.

Expected results: The gray left column width a) increases or b) decreases.

Note: Firefox 2.0.0.4, Safari 3.0.2, Opera 9.21, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Konqueror 3.5.8, Amaya 9.55, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 get the expected results.
