Continuing discussion from [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/tagging-support-is-now-part-of-discourse/43334).

I don’t know if this was different before the plugin was merged into core, but it definitely doesn’t look right now that we’ve got a [sticky sidebar](https://meta.discourse.org/t/change-right-gutter-to-vertical-timeline-topic-controls/44096):

This belongs in the gutter change topic as it is clearly an artifact of the right gutter revamp, IMO. I don’t think a whole new topic is warranted here.

Well it’s not full-width _because_ of the gutter change. It was like this pre-gutter as well:

I pushed a fix. It was set to `width: 100%`, so maybe the container’s size changed at some point.
