Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

A colon followed by some ja chars (with no space between them) fails to show up as it is covered under the ja chars. 
 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
To see this,
Go to some Web site such as http://video.google.com/ or http://www.google.com/, and type in some ja text (hiragana, katakana, kanji) after a colon (this is used for label search in Google Video).

Actual Results:  
Typing some char like "label:なに？" won't show the colon properly as it's hidden/covered behind the ja chars. Putting a space before the ja chars will reveal it. This may be confusing for many users. See the attached screenshot.
