Genesis Grid Loop teething problems: missing borders/unwanted sidebar shrinkage

[webmonkey]

I am having some teething problems using the Genesis Grid Loop.

The first issue is the disappearance of right borders on the grid thumbnail images:

This appears to be the result of the edges of the images being hidden behind some CSS element, but so far no joy in trying to narrow that down. Width values in the CSS appear to be percentage-based, which makes it a little harder to say, oh that should be 200 pixels wide not 198 or whatever. Has anyone else run into this problem? Google was no help.

The second issue is unwanted shrinkage of images in the Primary Sidebar. That blog post on the top right (in the Primary Sidebar) should have an image the full width of the Primary Sidebar, but is about half its width.

If you opt for having a full width Feature image in Genesis Grid Loop, which I have not in this design that just uses Teasers, then the right bar Primary Sidebar images don't get shrunk. So somehow the Grid Loop is affecting images in sidebars. Any ideas on how to fix that? Thanks.

Thanks to help from plugin writer Bill Erickson, I was able to resolve the missing border.

The 2-across Genesis Grid columns are 201 pixels wide each, so a 200 x 200 pixel image with a 1 pixel border is actually 202 wide, hiding the right border of the image.

Resolved this by adding a new image size of 199 x 199 pixels to functions.php, then ran the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin, then selected this new image size in Grid Loop. All good now.

Still no idea about why images are shrinking in the right bar.
