Following the steps to reproduce, the text:
Your search - giant squishy delicious lasers - did not match any products in
Froogle.

Suggestions:

    * Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
    * Try different keywords.
    * Try more general keywords.
    * Try fewer keywords.

You can also try your keywords on Google Web Search.

all appears in semi-random locations on the screen (sometimes partially to the
left of the dividing line separating its section from the navigation strip).
Across reloads, the text may appear to "jitter" slightly to the left or the
right. After moving from Froogle back to News and back to Froogle, it can appear
in entirely different locations.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.google.com/
2. Enter "giant squishy delicious lasers" and search
3. Go to Froogle
4. Reload and/or go to News and back to Froogle until behavior shows up

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

WFM using Firefox trunk on Mac.  I reloaded the Google Products Search page 20 times and didn't see the text in question move at all.
