@Harald: done. Is it better now?

@Anton: Never mind my previous question. The problem is that, while div#hlogo and div#hmenu both stick out below their containing div#header, the former sticks out 2px more than the latter. If you set

div#header { height: 115px; }

then both are properly within the header, and the problem is gone.

@Anton: Do you have any control over the structure of the header? Or can you only tweak the CSS? I am planning to take a closer look and see if I can come up with a proper diagnosis and a cure, but I need to know what is feasible and what is not.

It did not fix the problem.

I reduced the height of the hlogo div from 61px to 51px in css. Nothing looks different for me. Did it fix the problem? Did it break anything for anybody else?

Hmm, fascinating. I wondered if the font size set in browser preferences was important (I use a fairly big one (will spare you my standard rant about font sizes)), but turning it way down did not change the problem.

I'm using Firefox 3.5.9 on fedora linux, and still seeing the problem.

For what it's worth I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on ubuntu linux as I type and the web page mentioned above is displaying fine.

Firebug tells me that the div#hlogo sticks out below the bottom of the containing div#header. Since it is a float, text below tries to wrap around it.

@Charles,

I'm not seeing this. Could you post a screen shot and describe which browser/OS you're using?

I've just realized that, with the past day or so, questions at the top of a question page are not being justified at the left-hand edge of the page, but rather start after the right-hand edge of the "mathoverflow" logo.

For instance, see http://mathoverflow.net/questions/29913/map-of-manifolds-inducing-iso-on-top-cohomology-but-not-surjective-on-one-other
The line starts too far to the right, although it wraps to the left-hand edge of the page. This phenomenon is visible on every question page.
