If it's not fully displayed due to your DPI scaling (which is not a bug), then zooming out is the proper solution. Pale Moon should remember the zoom setting per site (it will be gone if you clear History/Site Preferences).

For more control over per-site zooming there are extensions like NoSquint for example.

Please tack a try, regardless of any dpi, press zoom in several times,
a part of this page will not be displayed,
this proleme only on palemoom28. not orther version or on firefox.
Should not be a dpi setting problem
and Erorr Console report is scroll-linked positioning effect problem

I already tried it (on 125% DPI). Don't know what is supposed to be missing, but it seems fine.

Right, I now see what you mean (it does disappear) although don't know why you'd want to zoom in like that. It does reappear if I zoom more, for example:

100-115%: appears normally
120-155%: disappears
160-195%: appears

I can reproduce your problem.
It seems that it is either a bug or a shortcoming of Pale Moon.
Maybe a dev can test with such a high resolution screen.

It's not a bug in Pale Moon, it's a web design bug.
The display area is fixed at 880px wide, and the content columns are given the exact added width of the same. They are further completely flushed against the borders which are also set to 0 on 2 sides, and overflow is marked hidden. All this results in the situation that when scaling, there is no room for the 1px rounding error that inevitably occurs on device pixels, the content becomes the scaled equivalent of 881 display pixels wide, won't fit and reflows out of view.

The design should be adjusted to account for natural-scaling border widths and not try to "pixel-perfect fit" content areas.

Maybe a web design bug,
but firefox or other palemoon version doesn't have this problem,
and maybe pelemoon28 can improve compatibility.
