It also workes at 2000080714 under WinNT.

The markup is forcing the right-hand column to be as small as possible.  Mozilla
is choosing to make the search field only 1-character wide.  This isn't the same
as the search button being "on top of" the input field.  I don't think that
Mozilla should be ignoring the size attribute of a text input.

This can sometimes be seen on the CNN main page, Top 100. Since it's dynamically 
generated, it's not there now (next time, I'll be sure to get a screen shot). 

What I see is a button's label being half on the button and half off the button.

Comment 10

[Peter Lubczynski]

The CNN layout problem is caused by invalid markup and is addressed in Bug 
48057. 

It appears that this bug has been fixed. It doesn't show up in any testcases. 
Closing out, marking FIXED.
