IE7 Padding Bug with Spry Effects

Question

I'm having a recurring issue with using the Spry Blind effect
in IE7 where, when upon trigerring the Blind, the width of the
element being expanded/contracted is expanding out to the right
over it's edges.
For example.
A div with a width of 800px and a padding of 20px;
When a Blind is triggerred on this element, the width of the
element would expand to 840px, the padding on the left side remains
fine, but the text now goes all the way to the right edge of the
newly widened element.
This has been extremely frustrating and doesn't occur in
Firefox.
I'm hoping this is a common problem. My implementation of the
script is fairly straightforward so I don't know if there is
anything else but a bug with the effect.

Answer 1

Here is a somewhat messy version of the page I am working
with.

If you click the green down arrow at the bottom of the top
right pane you will see the error.
The table expands out past the borders of the div. The
padding-left and padding-right on this div is 20px each, and it
expands out to 40px past the border of the div, so I am assuming
there is some correlation.
It also happens on the bottom one, though it is not as
evidence, since the text goes behind the background, isntead of
over it.
