[Christopher Aillon (sabbatical, not receiving bugmail)]

This is because they use this style from
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/css/ln1.css on the dropdown:

.dwsearch { font-family: serif; color: #ffffff; font-size: small; }  

The font color is white which makes it appear invisible.

Only linux gets this stylesheet because of
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/js/style.js which is referenced from the URL

All other platforms load different stylesheets but they all use color: #000000;
for black text.

It is the site at fault, not the browser.  ->Evangelism.

[Kai Lahmann (is there, where MNG is)]

they now give us "ns1.css", which has black font there.
