| Description | I have noticed that if I create some content (specifically an image based grid catalogue) in the Site Zone, then switch to Single Public Zone, the content gets skewed like the widths are not the same in both Zones. In the Site Zone, both side panels move with the page but it's only the right panel that moves in the Welcome Zone. |

"the content gets skewed like the widths are not the same in both Zones"
Skewed typically means gets dragged in an angled direction.
Dictionary: "suddenly change direction or position."
I don't think that's what you mean.
"like the widths are not the same in both Zones"
I'm not sure why they would be the same, if panels are different.
I'm also not sure why it would be an issue, as it's presumably not going to have to show in both situations at once, so normal layout and templating would be used to set the layout desired.
"In the Site Zone, both side panels move with the page but it's only the right panel that moves in the Welcome Zone."
I think by "move with", you're referring to what happens when you do vertical scrolling. I'm not sure what that has to do with widths or skewing though, and I'm not aware of any difference. Likely your site just has a tall panel that can't all display on the screen at once, so Composr won't try and sticky it.

/*{+START,IF,{$CONFIG_OPTION,collapse_user_zones}}*/
.zone_running_ #panel_right:first-child ~ .global_middle { /* If no left panel on welcome zone, lets give some extra space */
margin-{!en_right}: 16em;
}

This is simply because a splash page probably is going to be more sparse and wanting to make use of more white-space.
So there's no bug here, simply the default styles dictate more space on the welcome zone.
It only applies when there is a right panel and no left panel.
Collapse zones ("single public zone" option) is when the welcome and site zone are automatically merged by Composr - i.e. there's no visibly separate site zone, and all the site zone pages run from the welcome zone instead. It's not actually really anything to do with panels.
