Shadow area not wide enough [#667358]

From the top of the page there's the blue bar, then a narrower grey bar for the top menu, then a shadow area between that and the start of the white area.

If you resize the browser window so it is narrower than the page, then scroll over to the right, the shadow area looks like 'B' in the attached screenshot.

It gets resized to the window's width, so when you scroll to the right it no longer extends right across the window.

I've seen this in 1.0 and 1.6, and with FF 3.5.5 and IE 8

This is a very interesting problem. I can confirm it also happens in Safari 4.x. I'll take a look and see if I can figure out why this is happening.

I know practically nothing about CSS, so take this with a large pinch of salt:

I see the page-bg.png runs right across the window, regardless of resizing the window. The problem happens with the header.png file.

But header.png just seems to replicate what page-bg.png is already doing, so would it work to just get rid of header.png, and enlarge page-bg.png to have the extra shadow area below the current grey bar?

Since I have a gradient in the header, I can't quite make things work that way, unfortunately, and it seems this is a bug that occurs in every browser. I can't really fix it, unless I redo the whole header design, and I'd rather not do that...

I'm going to say 'by design,' because this doesn't seem to be to be too big an issue; I don't know many times when people would be resizing the window smaller, than larger again, more than occasionally, and when they do, I don't think this will make things look too horrible ;-)
