The problem is that the Box Sizing action isn’t working as it should. Here’s some things to try:
Open the actions palette, and select the fourLeft element. Make sure that the Box Sizing action uses “border box” and also ensure “convert width to percentage” is checked. Do this to each of the columns.
If that doesn’t fix it, try deleting the site from your server, clearing out the Site Folder, then forcing a republish and reupload.
Try installing the action from ActionsForge. Although the action should be cached in the Backdraft document, installing the action itself will rule out the possibility that the cached version is corrupted.
I was also having issues w the box heights being unequal

Could you send the website file to me? I’ve been getting reports of this problem, but am having a difficult time replicating it. It’s defiantly a problem with the Box Sizing action, but I can’t seem to figure out what’s causing it. Directions here.
It is set at fixed % when I change it - all is removed. I am confused what to change.

The Box Sizing action set’s the elements box-sizing to border-box and recalculates the percentage width of the element. I don’t have enough time right now to try to tackle exactly what box-sizing is and why it requires a recalculation of the width, except to say that it allows for easy module manipulation because I no longer have to hard-code the percent width of each column in Backdraft’s stylesheet. When the action works, it’s pretty sweet.
I’m talking with Softpress right now trying to figure out what the problem is. No success yet, but we’re working on it.
Julie, could you send me your Freeway file off-list? I’m trying to pinpoint what exactly is causing the problem, and the more examples of the problem I can compile the better.
Later today, I’ll work up a hard-coded temporary workaround and post it on the Fixes for Known Bugs page in the Backdraft Docs.
