Details

The layout engine isn't taking the height of form widgets into account. Thus the form widgets are going outside of the lines that they are on. When enough form widgets are on top of each other, they begin to seriously overlap each other. This significantly hinders usuability. This doesn't happen in tables, btw, because tables add padding. Thank you.

can you please provide a test case ? reassign to ramiro since its reported on linux. if its truly xp, ill reassign accordingly.
If you're the person who asked for the test case, anything with radio buttons does just fine for me. http://slashdot.org, on the side with their polls works. But any and every page with radio buttons has had this effect for me. -Chris Lansdown

phillip, can you see if this is on Win and Mac too please?
i've tried slashdot and bugzilla on linux, winnt, and macos with the afternoon builds for may 06 1999, and they look pretty good. lansdoct, if you could explain what the problem is or find another site with this problem, besides http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi or htpp://www.slashdot.org, we'll know where to go with this. otherwise, i'm going to have to mark this bug worksforme because i can't reproduce it.
