I've started seeing this in Opera fairly recently. Example: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-video-element.html#the-video-element

Yeah, I can confirm in Chrome.  There's a status box there that doesn't fade out and overlaps the actual content of the <dl class=element>, in addition to the one over on the left that's where it's supposed to be and only fades in when you stop scrolling.
Comment 4 Michael[tm] Smith 2011-08-04 05:01:36 UTC 
mass-moved component to LC1
Comment 5 Simon Pieters 2011-08-04 13:57:27 UTC 
This is because some sections got new IDs (from video to the-video-element), but in order to not break existing links the old ID was preserved in a <span> or so. Which confuses and misplaces the status boxes. The IDs of the status boxes need to be updated as well but there's no UI to do so.
Comment 6 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-08-05 15:25:44 UTC 
Done. I think I fixed three that I found. If there are any others let me know.
