Test case is WFM in current nighties fro Mozilla and FF (Windows 2000)

[Bruce Davidson]

Display of test case appears broken in recent nightly on MacOS X. Get a line of
underscores, but if I drag the mouse over any of it I get the "ABCDEF" from the
end of the string appearing at the left hand side.
