hmm.. I guess what it could be is that when you follow a link the browser's height and width have already been stored somehow and are accessable to define the height and width in pixels from the 100%..
when you enter the URL by hand the browser probably doesn't have that info to use and thus doesn't know wether to display a scrollbar or not.. The browser waits untill the site has been fully loaded and does not display the scrollbar because the sites' width doesn't exceed the browsers' width.. but because the site has been built up with the browser reserving that space for the scrollbar it displays only the backgroundcolor.. (and thus not showing the table at a full 100%)
