Is a 10 speed campy chain much wider than a shimano one?

For now I guess I'm just going to have to mind my shifting habits and shift in the back before shifting in the front to avoid this happening.

Would it be possible to use a triple FD and lock out the limit screws so I don't throw the chain onto the frame? If I need a new fd, that might be the cheapest way to go about finding a working solution. An older shimano or campy clamp on FD?

Any ideas?
Before you think about more parts, I'd go back through the cable and derailleur settings and make sure the front derailleur travel is limited the right way. Usually overshifting off the chainring is due to the cage moving too far. This problem can be present on the front and rear derailleurs, and on both the inner and outer limits.
