 Here's a fix you can add to your themes:

 > Seems many people dislike the width on that wrapper div. As far as I
 remember it was added so captions can be centered. Haven't seen any
 suggestions on what to replace it with or how to handle centered captions.

 The problem is the additional 10px added to the width, not with having a
 width.

 Although, I wouldn't mind seeing some solutions for removing the width
 altogether.  What about using `<figure>`?  I don't think you need a width
 on it, but I haven't really tested it to see how well browsers handle it.
