Zoe, can you be more specific about "buttons no longer acting like
buttons"? In following links from Faruk Ates' article I saw a couple
of references to this problem but no more precise description nor
examples of the alleged misbehavior.
As I use Mozilla/Firefox as my primary browser and test in others,
have been using the star-selector to eliminate margins & padding for
a couple of years now, and have never noticed my buttons acting like
snaps, zippers, or string ties, I'm both curious and bemused.
Regards,
Paul
