I have been having issues with the form fields of the AUR page. Specifically, with any version of Firefox after v9; the fields are incredibly small. (See http://imgur.com/KEdYk for what it looks like). I have removed gtk-kde4, and even created a vanilla user with a brand-new home directory, and this other user profile experiences the same problem. edit: In a fresh install of GNOME 3, the AUR page displays correctly. Also displays correctly if I revert to FF v9
This problem doesn't occur in Chromium, so I thought it was a FF issue, however, I've not heard of anybody else with this same problem... So I'm a little stumped. I filed a bug report a while back, (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28613 ), but it has been closed. Any help in diagnosing and/or fixing this issue would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks!

That is sounding quite strange. I've had display issues similar to yours with login fields and search fields that are usually at the top of a we page appearing distorted and on top of each other. Another prevalent problem that I noticed on YouTube was that text I enter into any field doesn't show up, but it is entered and I can search. I'm running xfce so I don't know what to say. Haven't had the problem in gnome, though I really don't like gnome 3 for its lack of what of what I considered organizational hierarchy. (though I am against hierarchies of other sorts), Ive also found that clearing the Firefox cache can solve some of these problems.

I don't see the issue here with FF and KDE. I'm not using FF from the repos, though, but a copy downloaded directly from Mozilla. (The repos don't provide a version which works with my preferred language; Mozilla's build works fine.)

Well, to add to the confusion, on a fresh install of KDE, the AUR page is displaying properly. I don't have anything FF/html related from any external sources.. So a mystery package (or leftovers of one) is causing this. What bothers me the most about this, is the only way I can really fix this is to start over again- not something I really want to do considering how minor a problem this is. As a matter of fact, I'm liking chromium quite a bit as a result.

Have you considered font configuration differences? Just wondering...

I just compared /etc/fonts directories with my current and vanilla install, both directories are exactly the same. Are there any other places where I should check for differences? I'm not quite sure if thats even what you mean.

I fixed it 'the hard way'.. a fresh install of everything. Thanks to everyone who bothered to take a look and tried to help.
