I know, I know... 800x600 accounts for less than 5% of most sites' visitors. But if you get 10,000 visits a month, that's still 500 people! Who maybe you want to sell something to.
The newer RT templates fail to draw most elements past the right edge of the browser window when resized. Akiraka is particularly bad about this - modules in the Right position are flat-out gone if your browser window is narrower than the template width. You can't scroll over to them - they never get drawn. The older templates allowed scrolling to the right, but you can't count on that any more.
Anybody know of any workarounds to this? - Lovebird Design

The only real way to get around this easily is with body {min-width: 1000px;} or whatever width you are using in the template.
Unfortunately, its behaviour is rather intermittent depending on browser and platform. All work in some fashion apart from IE6. However, in some, it only works on fresh load at that size but if you change the window size, it fails unless you refresh.
Its a concern not restricted to just our templates, its the way certain browser render which is out of our control. But using the CSS I mentioned should help
