As a Chrome user, I'm accustomed to being able to grab the corner of a text box (such as the update box) and pull it out across the screen, and the floating right-hand column interferes with that unless my browser width is set just so:

* Too wide!
* Just right

If there were some way to force the display to never put the entry box in a column next to anything else no matter how wide the browser window was, that would be awesome.
