In their CSS, they have a rule for every <p> tag to have "overflow: scroll" for some reason. Not sure why they didn't use the default value for overflow, since there's nothing on that page that needs to be specifically told to scroll.

Probably, they tried it and it worked.

This incidentally led to the bug that they're blogging about too.

Yeah, it's likely that they're all using Macs and have never checked their website on a Windows machine.
