Another vote for this – on a fairly common wide-screen business-class monitor, the Confluence content is forced into a narrow column down the middle of the window, and there are very wide margins of wasted space on both the right and left.
It's even worse on pages with tables with several columns, which are forced to be narrow and therefore wrap and make the text hard to read, and require a ton of vertical scrolling. Seeing all the wasted space that could be used to make the columns wider makes it really frustrating.
If required on small screens, offer the option of zooming the browser to view more columns (if people don't want to horizontal scroll as much on a small screen). Instead, now when you use the browser zoom option instead of making more columns fit, it makes the column of actual content even narrower and the blank wasted margins right and left even wider. That's a backwards design!
