So just now I came across this question, which appears to be a duplicate of this question.

I saw that I had the ability to close the question, so I did so, marking it as a duplicate.

When I noticed that I was unable to indicate which post the question is a duplicate of, I tried to reopen the question. When that didn't work, I tried to post a comment indicating which post the question is a duplicate of.

The result was... interesting:

Screenshot of question with weird display glitches indicated

  • A gray border or padding appears around the top header.
  • A yellowish box appears around the question post, and the question title extends above the top of it.
  • The error message displayed above the post a comment link contains what appears to be the 403 template (note the barely-visible white text).

Reproduced in Firefox and Chrome on Mac OS X

Fixed in the repository. I will try to make a release this weekend and upgrade. The hosted sites will be upgraded next week.
