> Um, yeah. When the first line is full (or maybe even before this), the new words type over themselves instead of kicking down to the next line so that there are two lines in the space of one line. I noticed it happening at work yesterday. And it only happens on the first two lines. I use Netscape at work on a PC, but I can't remember the version. How's that for helpful?
Weird! Only the first two lines? After that they kick down like they should?

Your lines aren't "wrapping". I thought Netscape started doing that automatically a while ago, so again it might be a version thing...
