Looking at the page will show the symptoms: alternate lines look like they've
been "whited out", with only the tops of the tall characters showing.
The cause may have to do with the CSS style used, which is (taken from the
source listing):
.clsBody
{
    PADDING-RIGHT: 4px;
    PADDING-LEFT: 4px;
    FONT-WEIGHT: normal;
    FONT-SIZE: 12px;
    PADDING-BOTTOM: 4px;
    OVERFLOW: auto;
    PADDING-TOP: 4px;
    FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   text-align: Justify
; font-style: normal   
}

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit the URL.
2.Try to read the article.


Actual Results:  
As described above.

Expected Results:  
The article should have displayed correctly, as it does for instance in IE6.

Page Preview showed the same rendering error.

In the testcase the red box is one line high and clips the rest of the text,
there is no scrollbar displayed.

Testcase and site both work for me in a current build.  roc's overflow:auto
rewrite most likely fixed this.
