The MSDN Library home page has a search frame on the left side.  At the bottom
of the search frame is a link that says "Advanced Search".  Below the search
frame is a contents frame.  On Mozilla, the "Advanced Search" link is mostly
hidden by the top of the contents frame.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/


Actual Results:  
The "Advanced Search" link is hidden by the top of the contents frame.

Expected Results:  
The contents frame should be below the "Advanced Search" link.

The problem also occurs in version 1.3.a.

The problem is occuring for me when I change font sizes causing the SELECT and
the GO button to be on different lines & in some cases making the content too
big for the frame w/o scrollbars. Oddly enough this happens at smaller font
sizes as well as large ones (which average size text looking fine).

Unless we're going to dive into why the line is wrapping at a very small font
size (which is OK afa this layout goes cause smaller==fits in the frame) I'd
suggest marking this invalid/low priority evangelism.

->All/All for completeness (1.3b/OS X)

I continue to see the problem on:

1.5.a Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030608
1.4.rc1 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529
1.3.1 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425

I do not see the problem on Netscape 7.02.  As comment #3 says, Mozilla places 
the Selection field and OK button on seperate lines.  Netscape places the 
Selection field and OK button on the same line.

I am using Georgia as my Serif font and Verdana as my Sanserif font.  I am 
using the default font size of 16 pixels.

font issue.
