Hi Rob,

Thanks for the feedback.  I'm going to Cc: the TC list on my reply.

During the original TS design, I made this choice in order to keep the 
available "real estate" maximal in those two middle frames, and I thought 
that all tests could be written to not need scrolling there, in typical 
viewing conditions.

On your particular case (attached), the upgrade of this test from 1.0 to 
2.0 involved adding the bold text at the top of the right-middle 
window.  From your screenshot, that apparently pushed the link line out of 
the window in your browser.

There is a temporary workarounds:  select the text in that frame, and on 
the IE pull-down menu "view->text size", reduce the text size.  I use 
"small" as default, and it views okay.

Ideally, we would find and implement a solution that wouldn't require 
this.  But ... I simply don't have the time to do it now.
