Negatively margined (or indented) elements get cropped if their parent elements have layout (hasLayout == true).
(ppknote: IE 7 crops the right margin of the first example, but not the left. IE Mac ignores the margin-right: -10px in the first example.)
Test page Workaround is not included

It appears IE7 crops the right margin of an element with a negative value even though the page does not include 'hasLayout'
example:
body { margin-left: 150px; margin-right: 150px; }
para { margin-right: -100px; }
