reporter: you usually don't need to cc yourself on your own bugs. You will get 
notification of changes of bugs that you file (unless you edit your 
preferences).  Summary textfield looks fine to me (well, it's an ugly x font, 
but ...). Screenshot looks worse.

Based on the steps provided, I can't seem to reproduce on the Linux May 15
build. Reporter, is this happening on the May 15th build ? Tested on Linux
Redhat 6.2.

I just tested on 2001051508 and it's still happening. This behaviour is
unpredictable (to me), so it might take a few minutes of browsing before it shows.
