When I try to login to my dyndns.org account, the first time that I press the
login button, all that happens is that the button does a sort of carraige
return. Upon the second pressing of the button, I can log in.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.dyndns.org
2. Click login button in upper right (No need to enter any data into fields)
Actual Results:  
Button moves down a line

Expected Results:  
Login should occur

I can reproduce this every time on http://www.perlmonks.org/

1. Visit http://www.perlmonks.org/.  You don't need to log in.
2. On one of the news items listed, click "Offer your reply" (we won't go
through with posting the reply)
3. Scroll down until you can see the textbox and "preview" button.
4. Depress the preview button.

When the button is pressed, it, along with the textbox and some text above it,
will move down a few points.  If the mouse cursor is very near the top of the
button, the click won't register, since the mouse-button release will no longer
happen above the "preview" button.  If the mouse cursor is further down, is
moved down after the page shifts, or if the button is clicked a second time, the
form will be submitted as expected.

This is with FireBird 20030731 on Linux.
