I can confirm with my build that the layout of the page is not looking good in
Mozilla.
Concerning the Mouse-Wheel: I do not have this problem. The wheel works fine in
both lists. I'm using a Microsoft IntelliMouse.

The <h1> is in a <div> with "margin-left: -18px" which is in a table with
cellpadding="15px".  So the total offset of the <div> off the left edge of the
page is 3px, as can easily be seen.  The site obviously wants this rendering,
however, based on that markup.

There seems to be more wrong with Microsoft.com:
Look at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q286189&
It overlaps some text (at least at 1024x768) on Windows XP, whether looked at
with Mozilla 1.1alpha or 1.1beta.
Mozilla 1.0 seems to display fine, though.

Every MS Knowledge Based Articles that I have looked at shows mangled text.

http://support.microsoft.com/common/css/GN/en-us/down-other/webparts.css

looks like CSS IE style:

.KBPUBV1 .appliesto
{	
	border-bottom: solid 1px #cccccc; margin-bottom: -2em;
	width: 90%;
}
.KBPUBV1 .appliesto UL {  margin-top: -1em; }

...

ok, ok, have been recently tilting at MS DHTML windmills... why not CSS ones as
well.

seems to be fixed, I cannot see anything wrong here Linux 2003082005, then
again, I only compared it on Linux with Opera 7.2b.
