The Beta notice looks strange to me:

Which page / URL does this happen on? And what exactly is "strange"? The line break between "Leave" and "feedback", or anything else? Feel free to edit the bug summary to be more specific. Thanks!

I suspect it is the font (DejaVu?) that is common on Linux systems. It has wider characters than Arial (used on Windows).

The Beta popup should be made a little bit wider to accommodate this font.

The width is defined in terms of the font used (ems). I'm not sure how this fails due to that font - unless its em width is wrong somehow?

Note that we've just changed the language in the beta notices and expanded the width to compensate (deployment will be tomorrow afternoon PDT). Interested to know if this has an impact on this issue.

This flyout is now much wider.
