Expand the web site, then move to the left side

Bug description

When I widen the browser, the page follows the left side instead of being centered as shown in the attached screenshot. I do not understand under what conditions this occurs, as it does not happen in my other projects.

So the sidebar in _quarto.yml has the style style: docked, which does dock the sidebar to the left side. You could switch this to style: floating and the content will float to the center with the sidebar following it towards the center. Only pages with sidebars are getting the 'docked' treatment- we found that even in websites with docked sidebars, if you ended up on a page without a sidebar, it didn't look great to have the content floating the left side when no sidebar was present...

Thank you for your prompt attention. I had forgotten I had done this setup. I will change this to style: floating for now to get around it.

Right now, we believe that this is by design- perhaps it is worth more discussion, but we found pages without a sidebar seemed a little unusual looking when the content was either pushed all the way to the left or pushed to the position it would be if the sidebar were present.
