The highlighted area for the current link isn't lining up with
the link text.  The highlighted area might be completely on an
adjacent line, or might include part of the link text and some
adjacent part of the screen.

I don't trust my memory all that far, but I think a similar
problem came up in the last few months in reference to displaying
hidden or malformed links on one of lynx's internal pages.  And
there are hidden links on David's problem page.
