The Wikihomepage: http://wikipedia.org/ in IE7 has a scroll bar at the bottom with about 3000 pixels of space to the right of the content. This is not occuring in Firefox 3.
*** Bug 19121 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I am copy-pasting the following from Bug 19121, hope it can help you to fix this problem. "This bug is only repro on IE7 and IE8’s compatible view. The root cause is relative positioned elements is not clipped by its parent, although the parent has overflow:hidden style. You can find there is a "book shelves" element with width "1100%", and not clipped by its parent. This has been a wellknown problem in ie7, A common fix is to add a “position:relative” to the parent.

Do you still see this? The portals have been changed many times in the meanwhile (and maybe even IE gets some fixes sometimes).
richard: As I don't have a machine with IE7: Do you still see this problem?
I am assuming this issue has been fixed since the page got changed several times (comment #4). Also given IE7 is very old, I don't think it is worth investing any time / money in fixing such a cosmetic issue.
