I find this to be at least in part a javascript problem.
In Safari I was able to duplicate your observed behavior.
But, when I entered preferences, disabled javascript, then reloaded
the page the behavior was gone.

I did not trace the javascript. It is possible that the javascript is
loading css definitions. I did not look.

At the moment, all I have verified is the existence of your issue in
Safari with js enabled and the absence of the problem in Safari with
js disabled.
