I've had this problem once when a line in math display mode was too long. Fortunately, it canceled itself with another bug: sometimes, math mode is not loaded, and used this opportunity to click on "x" while it was on screen.

Problem fixed. It seems Firefox has some frame formatting issues. I loaded MO in Konqueror and all is well.

Hi,

I tend to like to use MO as a mechanism to wake my brain up in the morning, to start thinking about some mathematics. The problem with that is I make mistakes. MO usually is quite cooperative, allowing me to edit my answers, and re-post comments (erasing my old buggy ones as I do).

But this morning it isn't cooperating. It seems to only be happening in this one thread:

http://mathoverflow.net/questions/38378/exotic-spheres-detected-in-higher-homotopy

Usually there's a little "x" that appears in the top-right of a my comments, allowing me to delete them. But it appears something odd is happening to the formatting, and it forces the "x" too far off the right, where it is overwritten by the "Related" info box.

If a moderator reads this, my last three comments are all essentially the same thing, but the 1st two iterations were buggy and I'd like to delete them.
