From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    2001080110

The "search via FirstGov now" button is positioned incorrectly, with part of the
button not doing anything. The page has a box which is drawn incorrectly. IE 5.5
seems to position everything right.

Problem seems to be a FIELDSET with a (insufficiently) specified CSS height.
Some form controls are not visible. ->HTMLFormControls for further triage.

No dupes found. Confirming and marking NEW. 

This may end up as Evangelism, though.

The FIELDSET has a CSS specified height of 95px but the content requires more.
The current behaviour acts as if the FIELDSET has "overflow:hidden" but
I thought "overflow:visible" was the default. Do form controls have a different
default value for the CSS overflow property?
In fact, the testcase doesn't display differently even if I add "overflow:visible"
to the FIELDSET.

Reconfirmed using FizzillaCFM/2002071208. Setting All/All, and trying a revised
Summary. This probably belongs on Style System or Layout; trying Style System first.

No, this belongs in form controls.  Fieldset is a hard-coded layout object
(nsIFrame) right now.
