After the recent redesign of www.zeit.de some elements of the site are overlying and do not display correctly. It's hard or sometimes impossible to read or navigate the site. Everything works OK with Firefox 1.5/1.5.0.1 though.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.zeit.de/
2. Try to read the text right beside the "picture of the day"

Actual Results:  
Some elements are overlying. Today it's

Expected Results:  
The site should display correctly

Everything works OK with Firefox 1.5/1.5.0.1, using the same (?) rendering engine.

Tomas, do you have adblocking on? If so, please try it again with adblocking off and let us know if that fixes the problem.

Hmm, maybe a (little) problem, as I'm using CamiTools as well and would prefer not to have to quit Camino at the moment (you may want to see this as voting for built-in "Session-Saving" ;)

Anyway, turning off the built-in adblocker does reveal plenty of ads, but the problem still persists.

It very well may be something in CamiTools that's causing the problem. The next time you quit Camino, move aside your profile folder which resides at ~/Library/Application Support/Camino. Be sure not to delete it as it will erase all your settings.

After moving it aside, open Camino and see if the problem still exists.

(Note: If you're afraid of losing all your tabs, simply save a bookmark folder with them all in it by adding a bookmark and selecting "bookmark all tabs".)

If a fresh profile does not work, can you please attach screeshots (png or jpg) of the page as rendered in Camino and Firefox?

I just realized that there is a black silhouette in my menubar, aka Fast User Switching...oh man ;/

Stupidly everything is ok today, as the text is too short to overlay with the photo-credit. I/We will have to wait until the problem pops up again, probably tomorrow..

You were right. The built-in adblocker works fine with the site, it's in fact CamiTools what is causing the problem.

Thanks for giving me this hint. I'm closing the bug.

Just to be fair (for the archives): it was *not* related to CamiTools.

The problem was caused by an entry in my prefs.js:
user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-western", 11);

Ahhrg! %)
