Margin error in Firefox?

I’m currently working on a webdesign with a centered div, and what’s really irritating is that in Firefox the entire div moves when the content goes below the screen length. Firefox shows the scrollbar and moves the entire page abit to the left. Why does it do that?? IE doesn’t! I have tried with the latest beta of Firefox 3, and same thing happens there.

If you want to test this yourself open this css layout over at Layout Gala in Firefox, and keep clicking the “Add Text to this section” link in the content area until the content goes below the screen length. When Firefox adds the scrollbar at the right side it shifts the entire page to the left.

Surely this must be a bug?

Update: I just checked using Opera and the same thing happens.

Update2: After googling around some, I found the solution to this “problem”.
The following CSS will make sure the vertical scrollbar are always present:

html {overflow-y: scroll;}

Glad I sorted that out! Now I can consentrate on the design again.

Update3: This is still a “problem” in Opera. At least with version 9.27.

Script Compressor plugin not working?

I downloaded and installed the Script Compressor plugin with the intent to check how much faster the blog would load with scripts compressed. I don’t have much javascript on my site, so I thought I would start out with just the css compression.

But I can’t see any difference in the css file. Isn’t it working? I’m checking the css using Firebug and the size stays the same, and the structure in the file is the same also. I thought the script was suppose to remove blank lines and comments etc, but all comments are intact in the file.

Am i using it wrong? Are there anyone out there that get this to work?
