[Laszlo-dev] must we restrict the debugger width to the canvas width?

[Sarah Allen]

If you have a larger width in the embed tag, you can test an app in a  
larger canvas area than the canvas declares.  It is likely not  
intentional, but it is very useful.  I often develop small LZX apps  
embedded in a website, but for testing I embed them in larger area of  
test files.  It is good that the canvas stays the same size, so the  
app isn't distorted when I'm debugging -- the larger debugger is key.
