Quoting Kristin C. of the Roll20 Dev Team: This is a longstanding issue since Roll20's inception. It is an issue
with the HTML5's Canvas element. We've investigated this in the past,
but it's stumped us every time we've looked at it. In order to fix this
issue, it will likely require us to tear apart the entire element to
investigate what is causing the expanding pages at certain zoom levels.
Due to the man-power and time required to do this, we've never been able
to dedicate enough resources to focus on this yet. This is why we're hiring to double up our development staff numbers to help spread the work load around.
