Check the setting for the "balloon" area, whether set as a percentage or in
absolute terms. Perhaps there'll be something you can change that will make
a difference.

I have a group of documents (which all are copies of one initial
document) that show odd behaviour with respect to track changes
bubbles. When the bubbles are set to go to the left side, they behave
normally; as soon as a change bubble is created, the left margin
"expands" to allow enough space to hold the bubble. But when it's set
to the right side, which is what we generally use, there is no
expansion; the bubble squeezes itself into the available white space.
If there is only a little white space available, then the bubble gets
very skinny. The virtual right margin expands only a tiny bit (if
there is absolutely no room for the bubble), or not at all.
This is a mirror-margin layout. I note that the problem occurs when
the outside margin is relatively large (more than 120 points or so);
as the outside margin gets even larger, the expansion of the virtual
page gets even smaller.
Anybody seen anything like this? Any setting I can adjust (though
believe me, I've looked). TIA ---
