On certain websites, e.g. Craigslist, some portions of the window overlay other portions. How do I fix this?
Most websites view correctly, however there are a few which show portions of site overlaying other portions. E.g., on Craigslist, when I view a category page such as "for sale-auto parts", the heading "auto parts" is partially over the "search for" box, and the "in:" box extends to the right far enough that it blocks the "search" button. I've tried about a dozen CL locations and they all show the same issue.
I've tried zooming the page in and out but the problem doesn't change.
Another issue is that on search pages such as duckduckgo.com, loading of search-result pages is very show.
Chosen solution
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" in case the current setting is causing problems.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

Thanks to you cor-el and to you iamjayakumars for your replies. I did have the "none" and "allow websites...." boxes set up as you suggested. However when I was looking at the font box I saw that the "proportional size" in the font box was set at 24 - I don't recall changing that, may have hit some hot keys. I changed the size to 16 and it seems to have solved the problem.
The original prob is shown in the "BecksProb" and "CLProb" .pngs, the font panel as corrected to 16 in "Becks Font Panel" and the corrected Becks web page in the "Becks NoProb" .png.
Thanks again for your help in this matter.
