 This is related to #9066.

 The problem is that the image caption shortcode inserts an inline style on
 the containing div which sets the width to an arbitrary value which cannot
 be overriden by the theme's stylesheet.

 The proposed solution is to replace the shortcode function with a custom
 one which creates the markup without the inline style, but this is
 undesirable. It adds unnecessary complexity for beginners and is just
 generally annoying and shouldn't be necessary.

 Creating an inline style violates web standards and contradicts the
 philosophy behind a theme-based architecture.

 The inline style on the div should be removed so that theme developers can
 style the caption like they would any other element, without having to
 resort to inconvenient workarounds.
