Interesting - we've clearly got quite different configurations
somewhere!

This is what I'm seeing:

So the login button is rendered totally differently, the text input
boxes are aligned with the width of the graphic strip up top, and the
captcha and audio link are hidden(?) by the bottom writable icon. Also,
I'm getting a neat little box drawn around the outside of the whole
caboodle, and I'm seeing sans-serif fonts where you've got serif.

It does sound as if it may be a browser rendering issue rather than a
JavaScript one. (Although I dare say the page is doing something
hideously complicated in the name of 'compatibility', which according to
the site's blog is the rationale behind the latest changes:
