Pushed in 6904. Let me know if you have any issues with it.

I believe the centering problem mentioned in the original email to be fixed as
of 6903. I originally stated that it was an OSX issue, but I think rather it
was only noticed by Simon Wells who was testing on OSX, and just not very
noticeable here. I managed to reproduce something like what he was describing
this morning, and tracked it down to a silly mistake in 6895.
