>> I didn't test in firefox. I now have screenshots for both firefox and safari. It is still interesting to compare the layout. The first is quite broken. The second is only a little broken. The third is what I was expecting.
Here is a screenshot of the broken behaviour in Safari:

Here is a screenshot of the same thing in FireFox. Notice that while there are no overlaps, there is still a large gap in the layout.

Here is an inline news page (in Safari, but it looks similar in firefox). I was expecting both of the previous layouts to look like this.

What really surprises me is WHY this looks any different. And when you look at style.css you see that recentchanges and sidebar both use float, whereas normal inline pages do not.
Note that in the third (working) screenshot, the top bullet point is wrapped. This is because the sidebar is floated.
I think there is:
* A display bug in safari, and
* It would be nice to clean up the way recentchanges are displayed so that there isn't a vertical gap for the sidebar. I'll play with this and see what I can do.
