I noticed that this doesn’t work in Chrome 5.0.366 in OS X 10.6.3. It’s likely that it doesn’t work in previous versions of Chrome as well. The problem seems to be that a block level element with auto width doesn’t narrow when its parent element gains a scrollbar. The only fix I can think of is to set the inner element’s width to 100%, which, of course, breaks it in IE 7.
