The images in the left hand side of the screen, in the Marketplace section have the bottom half cut off.

This bug stems from the recent removal of (buggy) :last-child support. Specifically, WebKit no longer applies this odd rule[1] in <http://sfgate.com/templates/types/homepage/style/homepage.css>:

body:last-child #verticalmenu li a {
width:auto;
display:block;
}

[1] body:last-child is a CSS hack for targeting specific browsers: <http://thomas.tanreisoftware.com/?p=11>.

Bug 5468 is tracking the :last-child situation.

Andrew Wellington has confirmed that this is indeed a regression from Safari 2.0.4 (which had the buggy :last-child support).

To keep the CSS hack working, WebKit could special-case body:last-child. Doing so would be backwards- and forwards-compatible.

Otherwise, I am afraid this bug is an evangelism bug.

I talked to Hyatt about this on IRC. He didn't like the idea of a hack, so for now, we will make this an Evangelism bug.

:last-child fixed in <http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/29933>.
