Everbox version for post above is 1.1.6.

Thank you for the post. Indeed, there are ways to fix everything. However, an issue with many of the themes is that they have a lot of garbage CSS, and this garbage causes issues like that mentioned here. And the fix you proposed, if it does not break anything, needs to be implemented in the P2 source code.

Found theme P2 Categories. The P2 Categories author fixed some issues in P2. The wrapper width issue in P2 does not appear in P2 Categories. As the “Categories” implementation in P2 Categories is desirable, I moved on to P2 Categories and have not looked back at P2. Perhaps a diff between P2 and P2 Categories would be informative, but as mentioned, I have moved on.

And just to be clear…

Of course, to see bug, must be logged on. Then change style.css line 126 width back and forth from width: 978px (orig) to width: 958px or less.

Actually, that simply reducing the width of wrapper by 20 pixels causes the loss of one of the most important features of the P2 theme in Internet Explorer should be filled as a bug.

The issue appears in the home page postbox section, which appears only upon admin log on. Since do not want to provide admin rights to the blog, cannot show example. But, as indicated in initial post, this bug can be easily enough replicated by simply installing P2 v1.5.4 (the current version) on WP 3.9.1 (the current version) and changing one line of code in style.css (line 126 width: 978px to 958px or less), which I’m sure most experienced WP users can do in less than 5 min.
