Banner shifted 1px in Chrome in presence of scrollbar [Archive]

Hello,

I am developing a website, and I have a disturbing little rendering issue in Google Chrome. On a page where I have inserted a bit of content, my banner is shifted 1px to the left, extending outside of the wrapper to the left, and leaving a white space between itself and the right-hand edge of the wrapper. On other pages of the same site to which I have not yet added much content, this does not happen.

The issue seems to stem from the fact that the page with lots of content now requires a vertical scrollbar (at least on my screen: 1366x768). The other pages do not yet need a scrollbar, but they will, which means this problem will be widespread in Chrome if I cannot resolve it. Firefox does not exhibit this problem, and the banner remains snug within the boundaries of the wrapper.

Any help with this would be appreciated.
