Top Bar background does not persist when scrolling horizontally

Question

Update

A month Several months later, a new top bar, and the bug still exists. An answer has already been posted that would fix the bug, so is this something that the dev team plans on fixing?

There are also a host of other problems caused by this, especially on the footer and CC-logo. Again, this would be fixed with

html{min-width:1000px;}

There is a slight bug with small windows on both the new meta and main site(s)?, shown here. The problem is that the top bar coloring doesn't stretch across when you resize and scroll left or right.

On Meta, when a horizontal scroll bar is needed, the black background will only be as wide as the width of the viewport, but when you scroll the coloring will not shift.

To reproduce:

1. Make screen as large as possible, or wait until the menu bar starts expanding
2. Make it smaller and smaller until horizontal scrollbar appears, then scroll left and right.

Answer 1

There is a very, very easy solution to fixing this and any other background problems that might exist on the site:

html { min-width: 1000px }

This would make the HTML root element 20px larger than the standard 980px site width, so that even on small screens all elements of the site will expand and encompass the full width of the site.
