It is a problem experienced by users of Gecko-engine based browsers (Konqueror, Safari).

I lacked the ability to try to fix it myself but I copy here what I could find from one of two references. The first reference includes some of the initial observations of trouble, plus a suggested fix, which apparently worked for some people but may not be guaranteed. The second reference contains a related or additional problem area whose resolution is unclear but might inform the issues:

Here is the suggested fix (Carlos? David Grant? - can you implement?)

   1. Make sure you have empty.css attached to PatternSkin topic.
   2. Add the following two lines to "Pattern Skin Settings" section of TWikiPreferences:

      * Set USERLAYOUTURL = %PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/empty.css

      * Set USERSTYLEURL = %PUBURL%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/empty.css

I had previously posted the above links on the wiki at

http://salaam.homeunix.com/twiki/bin/view/Gnumed/WikiSupport

and I had also added a warning about the problem to the gnumed.org site. However the addition of shortcuts to the bottom of the gnumed.org  page bypasses that warning --- I have sent Tony a message about this.
