Works fine for me on Linux with mozilla 1.5b. Reporter you have an
ancient version of mozilla. Please try with a newer build.

No problems here:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Older Mozilla, and no activity on the bug for a while, closing as WFM.

Try a more recent build, if the problem persists this can be reopened or a new
bug created.
