Quoting Mike Cochrane <mike at graftonhall.co.nz>:

| If i read the patch correctly, you're aligning the text area to the left
| in line
| with the fields above.
| 
| I agree that it looks weird at the moment. But that change causes other
| problems. We need to use that space on the left hand side when the window
| width
| gets smaller, esp at 800x600 with the new menu.
| 
| Here's what the popup looks like before your change:

| 
| And after:

| The text area is now too far to the right and the window needs to be
| scrolled.
| 
| And similarly in IE:

Point taken.  But the rendering is _really_ screwed up right now also 
without this patch:

Mozilla (1.3b) is even worse:
