KLuka bcac95b9fa Issue #63, #315: only one line is displayed
* Changed detection for when terminal is embedded in another element.
  Now we allow one pixel difference between calculated terminal width
  and body width. This needs to be done because some browsers report
  wrong width in offsetWidth property, when browser zoom is in use.
* Updated README
