[RESOLVED] search box formatting anomaly

I'm in process of commissioning a new server with the latest stable releases of both MW,SMW and loads of extensions. Once running sweetly it will replace the current production server. It accessible here and is currently populated with a fairly recent backup of the production site to facilitate thorough debugging. The SSL cert will be reported as invalid because it is the production site cert and being used for Apache config/debug purposes only.

I have resolved multiple issues easily enough but not this one - yet: The search-box prompt and any type-in text appears below the actual box. Any pointers to fixing it would be much appreciated.

You have some sort of 'improved search' gadget or extension installed, that is not compatible with the latest search box styling changes and is breaking both the 'plain' and the 'improved search'.

Thanks TheDJ.

The problem turned out to be that 'external search' and the related drop-down check boxes in User preferences/gadgets were both enabled when the page Wikimedia technical search did not exist on the wiki
