If the Drupal site is yours, you might view the source and see if you and
simplify it. If not, probably just have to deal with it or use a different
or newer browser.
It is not my site; at this point I have no intention of trying drupal
again.
But I installed Konqueror (I am running Gnome) and discovered that
Konqueror does not exhibit this effect. So for that web site (and
perhaps for everything else), I now plan to use Konqueror.
