On pressing the "login" link, the word "login" is grey and partially obscured ("ogin"), "password" is grey and completely visible. Attempting to put the text cursor focus on the login field causes both fields to go blank white and the focus goes immediately to the password field. After this, you cannot put focus on the username field.

Thinking because the field seemed "mis-sized", I changed the zoom and text size to normal, but this had no effect.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Screen shot in IE8 / Win7 Pro x64

I can confirm the visual bug, but have no problem clicking into or typing in the username/email field. (Might depend on window size, other things on screen, etc)

It works for me.

Exactly the same as Brion, the cursor seems to be just off screen, but if you start typing, it's fine..

There is a vertical black bar on the left side of the password box which I mis-interpreted as the text cursor (see screen shot with highlighted rectangle). This is going to be confusing to users, but they will be able to enter the login.

Looks fine on mine, for the 2nd issue anyway

Seems to be fine on my IE8 box (admittedly 32bit and win xp) are people with win7 and 64bit ie8 still seeing/having this issue?

Win 7 x64, IE8 64-bit for me

And it works fine for me now
