I could really use some help with this one because I'm totally stuck
for a solution.  I've been trying to find something but haven't
managed to determine a cause or a workaround.  It looks like some kind
of clipping bug in Opera 9, but if it is then it seems odd that it
doesn't manifest itself in Opera 8.  I thought that maybe it had
something to do with using opacity effects, because opera 8 lacks
those, but turning off all the opacity effects in the CSS didn't solve
it.
