Sounds like BMO specific issue so let's have them check it out first before thinking upstream. It might that stupid OpenID image that breaks things.

And no, there's no code in github for this. All our code (both BMO and Bugzilla itself) is in bzr at bzr.mozilla.org.

The login form fields are displayed by default when not logged in if they are blank. This it to allow the user to see how to login. Adding the "Persona" sign in link (provided by an extension which BMO uses) makes the line slightly longer and if the font size if adjusted high enough, causes the line to break and continue beneath. If you adjust your font scaling down (control + -) then it goes back to a single line. We are trying to do add too much content on that line already and keep adding more so really this just needs some experienced UI design work. We (BMO) are working on a new skin for Mozilla's Bugzilla instance that will change this significantly (bug 882548) which will be the default in the near future so we will be focusing efforts there. So this could be an upstream bug technically as well but since BMO adds several extra links to the same line then it is more quickly noticable on BMO.

Closing WONTFIX for now as this will be obsolete by the new Mozilla skin.
