Setting certain combinations of padding, position, and white-space CSS properties on a block/inline element pair causes Internet Explorer to freeze up. (100% CPU usage.)

Adding disabled attributes to <BUTTON> elements in Safari does not have the desired effect.
Disabled buttons with text content are not greyed out and still respond visually to clicks (albeit without generating any onclick events).
In <BUTTON> elements with image content, the addition of a disabled atribute has no effect whatsoever.

The style in the header says that an a tag will change background color when hovered over.
In MSIE 6.02 this changes the height of the whole table, but in Firefox (NN8.1) it works just fine.
(ppkquestion: is this a hasLayout bug? If so, why does the bug also occur in IE 7 beta 2?)

In Mozilla Firefox 1.5 when you scroll the form so that it is off-screen at the top then scroll back on-screen
the underscores on the first letter of each line sometimes do not re-appear again. When scrolling to the end of the form and backup again, and when the browser window is resized to a smal size it seems even more persistent. This bug is triggered by styling label:first-letter {text-decoration: underline}.
(ppknote: This bug is quite flighty, I myself saw it only the third time I tried the test page.)

An absolute positioned element inside a fixed positioned element disappears after scrolling down one page height.
div#sidebar { position: fixed; top: 0; bottom: 0; }
div#disappearing { position: absolute; bottom: 0; }
ppknote: Opera 9 beta has a different bug, but this situation is still buggy. It doesn't recalculate the height of the fixed layer when the page is resized.

It is not possible to obtain the correct scrollTop value of a select list in Explorer, regardless of strict/quirks mode. to reproduce, enter the test page, scroll the list a bit, then hit the button. The alert will display 0 value in IE, and correct value in Mozilla based browsers.

When Explorer encounters a tag with the style white-space:pre inside a table, it will only print the first line even though it renders properly in the browser.
(ppknote: IE 7 beta 2 only shows an 'O' in the print preview)

Moving a div with visible scrollbars under any content causes flickering. Easy workaround: apply overflow: hidden; to moving div
Firefox specific bug
ppknote: Safari is also a bit hesitant, though the bug is different from Mozilla's.

IE crashes after updating several h1's css classes and div's display style with javascript. The bug only happens when specific styles are being used, in a specific order of updating the elements, and with specific laps of time between the updates.
(ppknote: complicated bug. Please read the page carefully)
