497709 - Text overlap, text displays garbled

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Daniel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1b99) Gecko/20090605 Firefox/3.5b99
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1b99) Gecko/20090605 Firefox/3.5b99

To view the problem, search the above url (http://www.networksolutions.com/) for the word "resources". You will see that the text from the section below this heading is overlayed on top of the heading. This happens on many pages that I have visited, but this page is the easiest example i can think of.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.networksolutions.com/
2. Search the page for "resources"
3. Observe the text

Actual Results:  
The word "Resources" overlaps the link for "Link together"

Expected Results:  
The resources section should display further down.

This seems to be an issue allocating space for DIVs which do not supply an exact position, width, or height.

I have the same problem of overlapping text as you describe. I also have, on many video sites(youtube.com being the worst) where the second row of the text link below the thumbnail is cut off. I did not have this problem until I upgraded to ver. 3.5.6.

Works for me, Firefox 3.6.15 and 4.0 on Linux with a fresh profile.
