User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031029

The persons "About me and who I'd like to date" paragraphs get obscured by the
lower page border if it is particularly long. I have tried this same page with
MozillaFirebird also and the same issue appears. The text in this area is
contained inside a table cell. I am not certain how they have the lower page
border coded.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the URL listed above
2. Look at the long paragraph under the "About me and who I'd like to date" part
of the page
3.

Actual Results:  
Parts of the paragraph is obscured by the lower border around the page and thus
not readable in Mozilla or MozillaFirebird. I can however select all of the text
and paste it into an xterm window to read the obscured pats but this is a pain
in the neck.

Expected Results:  
Not sure

Attachment: bzipped tar ball of a complete (minus images) web page to reproduce the problem.

Untar'ing this will produce a showprofile.html and a bunch of files in a
showprofile_files directory. Simply view the showprofile.html in either
Firebird or Mozilla 1.6a (haven't tested with 1.6b) and the problem with the
obscured text in the "About me and who I'd like to date" section should be
appearent.

I looked at the page in question and it is quite complex. I was able to zero out
all the image files without invalidating the page from causing the problem.
Tar'ing it up and bziping the result produced a 25Kb file so I will attach it
here. Simply untar the resulting bzipped tar ball. This will produce a
showprofile.html file and a showprofile_files directory. By viewing the
showprofile.html file in Mozilla should reproduce the problem.
