I'm still seeing the issue.  It always appears to be one conversation
that disappears in favor of 2 items in news feeds, documents, or one of
the other "grid" categories.

Maybe we should take a different approach?  Beagle-search today handles
resizing of the window as it gets wider, and adds columns.  Does a
similar approach not work when making the window longer?  (Unfortunately
I don't have a concrete answer, because I'm not totally familiar with
the layout code.  Dan or Lukas might be able to guide you better here.)
