See images at http://www.textuality.com/problem1.png and
http://www.textuality.com/problem2.png - this is my front page at my.yahoo.com.
 I have blanked out the details of my stock portfolio :) - anyhow, if I type a
stock ticker into the little get-quotes window, it appears way up in the screen
at the wrong place.  Problem1.png shows the vertical cursor bar appearing to the
left of the "Front Page" title, and  problem2.png shows the word "problem"
partly overwriting that text.  Unfortunately, it may be highly dependent on a
particular my.yahoo.com layout and I don't want to give you my password.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to my.yahoo.com
2.put the cursor in the Get Quotes form
3.start typing

Actual Results:  the text I typed appeared in the wrong place

Expected Results:  the text should have appeared in the entry field

This is a dupe of mostfreq bug 55086.  (INPUT and TEXTAREA control's value
misplaced on reflow)

Well it sure sounds like a dupe, verifying, although I cannot reproduce it on
windows 98 build 2001-08-02-03...
