I have really no idea but I wouldn't be surprised if there would be a bug in
the Names that no matter the width of a stationary, the view width wouldn't
change. Remember, all stationeries had all the same width initially. I've
seen a few times, while accessing some areas in the NOS, that the guys were
assuming too much (like screen width and so on), even from Apple's own code.
