i believe you ... and yet--
you think YOU've got it bad? i'm using MAC netscape, and boy is
it ever screwy! i couldn't count how many times every day i get
text in my scrollbar, overlapping graphics, munged table
layouts... (but consider the alternative!)
and usually when i notify a webmaster that they could take a bit
of time and cater to all browsers by cleaning up their code, if
i'm lucky i get a form response; usually i get silence.
one webmaster actually wrote to say "you're the only one using
mac netscape according to our logs, so we're gonna leave it as
is." there, the display had six popup menus across the top
frame, which on my netscape required 1200+ pixels to display,
since netscape ignored the font specs...!
aaugh!
anyhow--
if you can 'screen-capture' the problem and email it to them
directly, they'd have a better chance at understanding the
situation... (no, i don't know them, and they don't know me.)
sorry to not be more helpful! sure hope you get past the
hurdle...
you might try gzilla or some of the others available, see what
works best. ("apt-cache showpkg www-browser | more" to get a
list if you don't know what options there are...)
