Jay, always include your build id when logging bugs.

Comment 2

[Jay Davis]

Hmmmm,

How did I manage to file a bug before changing back the user agent?  Build ID is
2002120708.  But I assume you didn't see this problem yourself, then?

Hard to tell, since you didn't say what problem you were seeing...

I'm going to assume you meant the overlapping text.  That's a table bug -- we
make that left cell 114px wide, while the HTML requests 170px (not that that
would help that much, really -- the design is badly flawed).

This bug is a duplicate; this same issue has come up many times before.

Yes, I was referring to the overlapping text when I spoke earlier from my coma.
;-) Thanks for looking at it.

could this be a dup of bug 144595 ?
But at the same time the page mentioned here uses a lot of javascript to add
items to the left table cell.
