Unclickable links in widget editor after adding a widget

Description

I've recently installed a new theme, but didn't add any widgets.
Today I went to add the widgets, and I can only add one at a time!

When I click on "Add" the widget is added, the yellow box appears saying "Don't forget to save". When the box appears the "Widgets", "Available Widgets" and the bar with the drop down box moves down the page.
The bar with the drop down box moves *under* the list of available widgets.
Some how this renders the "Add" links as unclickable.

I have found two ways to fix this.
The first is add one widget, then save.

The second way is to add a widget, then click on the "Edit" link on the widgets in the "Current Widgets" list.
This then moves the list of available widgets down and the links start working again.

I have attached three screen shots that show this problem.

Cannot reproduce this in FF2 on Linux. Could you also try another browser/OS to confirm if it's browser related.

Cannot reproduce this in FF2 on Linux. Could you also try another browser/OS to confirm if it's browser related.

The browser I was using at the time is Firefox 2.0.0.18 on Linux

I have tried it on XP with both IE 7 and Firefox 3, both did not have the problem.
I then installed Firefox 2.0.0.18 on XP and the problem was still there.

I have also tested it on Opera 9.51 on Linux and the problem was not there.

So it must something to do with Firefox 2.0.0.18
