Yeah, zooming out to 80% works for me but it makes the fonts rather small and generally decreases the comfort with which the website is used. It would be wonderful if this issue could be resolved because it's a pain that everytime I want to chat now I zoom out to 80%, and zoom back in when working on the website. Makes it hard to chat and work simultaneously. 

That's a great idea! Indeed, people downgrade homework for faulty grammar and spelling when it says in the guidelines you're not supposed to take points for that. Thanks for your addition :D
