Getting there!
The sidebar rendered stacked below the content instead of beside it. But the visible symptom was misleading. Through instrumentation I figured out:
- calc(100% - 270px) resolved correctly to 700px for content; sidebar to 250px.
- Both fit on one flex line (700 + 250 = 950 ≤ 970 available) — no wrapping issue.
- Yet content still ballooned to full width (970) with the sidebar below.
The real cause was one level down: the entire page's flex layout was silently failing and falling back to block flow — the log had thousands of FLEXSAFE collect failed → block fallback.
NetSurf's block-fallback path already tolerated this exact failure (fixes168c — zero-height the failed child and keep going), but the main flex path didn't. I made the two main-path abort sites (place_line_items_main and base_and_main_sizes) equally tolerant: when one item's content layout fails, degrade just that item to zero height and keep the flex line intact, instead of collapsing the whole container. That restored flex page-wide - sidebar beside content, node rows as rows.

I've gotten a lot of work done with compatibility with loading 68kmla and have now begun debugging macsurf loading tinkerdifferent! The next release focuses on the forums we all love. While both are powered by xenforo, for one reason or another it does not want to load tinkerdifferent at all. I am currently working through the debugging and know I'll find a way.
Also on this release is the switch from duktape to quickjs - something that will be a huge benefit with loading modern sites as development progresses.

Added this nice PowerBook 3400c to my collection
I will have to send it to get it recapped since it's only making a popping noise and yes I did remove the PRAM battery out of it
I will also need to get a replacement front bezel for it since it's cracked
