Because the width of the help box is 100%, but it also has padding, using the default box sizing, the width is first calculated as 100% of it's container, and then the padding added on top of that, making it wider than it's container. This causes a horizontal scrollbar to appear on small screens, making it hard to scroll with a finger.

Changing the box sizing to border-box changes how it calculates the width so it no longer spills outside of it's container.
