Content-zone, no room for padding [#1128078]

Hi,

I am not sure if it's a bug. I have set up the content area from left to right: content - sidebar 1 - sidebar 2.

When I give the .content-region a padding of 5px sidebar 2 will end up below sidebar 1. In my understanding padding pushes the text inwards away from the border. So the border position remains the same. Yet it seems it pushes the border out, because there is no more room for sidebar 2.

You can work around it by making the zone static, but that leaves you with a none centred content area. And that just doesn't look very nice :)

I've got a similar issue when I try to add a border to the sidebar-regions:

#region-sidebar_first, #region-sidebar_second {
border: 1px black solid;
}

I also don't want to make the zone static since I like the sidebar-content-sidebar layout.

Am I missing something?

If I increase the size of the content-container though, the layout is possible:

#content-container {
width: 970px;
}

When you add padding or border, the content area gets larger than defined which in total exceeds the 960px width. To make the padding work, wrap your content region by another div in your template file.
