sungod, when I test this using Commercial 3/3 Build ID 2000022708 on WinNT 4.0 
SP4, I'm able to click on "link ..." successfully but not on "Click this". Is 
that the same behavior you witnessed earlier, or has the behavior changed? 
Before, were you unable to click on any part of the link?

Marking M19.

(Using Linux M14... build ID 2000022916) Bug still exists. Looking at my first
test case in a different aspect ratio, I see it wasn't so clear... sorry about
that. Try the second test case I just uploaded. When the link is superimposed on
the graphic by using a negative margin, I can't click the link. Also, I
redesigned my home page so it no longer shows this bug, so the URL I first
posted is no longer relevant.
