Web management GUI; "Help" menu wraps around, and blocks access to "System" menu.

Description
See attached screenshot.
I have my web browser set up to use a slightly larger font size, due to limited eyesight. With a larger font size, it seems the "Help" menu item in the web management GUI overflows, and take up a new position in the left side of the menu, just below the "System" menu item.
This 100% prevents access to the "System" menu. The "System" menu opens up, but as soon as I move the mouse down to click a menu item, the "Help" menu takes focus instead, and the "System" menu is closed. Everything in the "System" menu is in-accessible.
After some fiddling, I was able to get the menu to display normally, by adjusting the font size in my browser down. Nota bene: To create the issue, I changed the default font size in Tools -> Options -> Content. I did not use the browser "zoom" feature (CTRL-Mousewheel fx).
Seen on Firefox 3.6 on Windows 7. However, these font alignment problems are generally universal, so I have every reason to believe that other browsers with a user-specified larger font size will have the same issue.

Suggested priority: Assigning a priority to this is a little bit tricky. On the one hand, there are probably not that many people who use a custom font size. On the other hand, when the issue is present, the most used menu in the Web GUI simply doesn't work -- and resolving the issue is counter-intuitive, most normal users would not think of changing their font size.
