SuperMacGuy,
If you are using 10.4, there is a way to force this stuff into Safari. See this post in the FAQ. (And ignore the first instance of 10.5 in the subject--should be 10.4.)
Of course, there are some things that will be harder to reach with the "Actions" panel permanently disabled, but it depends how much you want the extra width.
Worst case, you could just put in the full-width fix from the link above.
As for whether Adobe will get around to patching the forums, my impression was that they are quite happy with them being fixed width because "shorter lines are more readable", which is why I started doing all these hacks on my own. No, it makes no sense to me either, but that was the impression I got. With any luck, I will be proven wrong.
Just in case though, you guys may want to start looking into FireFox. It's pretty easy to use these days and should suck all your bookmarks out of Safari at first launch. Also, if you install the Grapple Yummy (blue) theme, you'll have a hard time distinguishing the look of it from Safari.
