I have found 2 examples so far:

2. Identifiers section on dataset page. E.g. http://api.gbif.org/portal-web-dynamic/dataset/9e7ea106-0bf8-4087-bb61-dfe4f29e0f17 (see screenshot)]]>

Comment: Sorry but the issue is back. While attempting to make use of the portal CSS/JS (instead of the local copy) I discovered that the old combo of CSS/JS did a better job at fixing the problem.

I can confirm the problem still exists in Opera.
But, I am glad to say that I no longer see the problem in Firefox. At least for my version 23.0.1

If it works for the GOF (FF, Chrome, Safari, IE) then I strongly suggest "WontFix"! :-| Opera is in the process of switching rendering engines

plus, have a look at their market share:

From 2.4 in 2012 to 1.6?

We need to define a clear set of browsers and versions that the portal must support all over. Ive made an issue for this, I link it. Feel free to comment:

Comment: FF 17 for example has a market share of 0.8% - not necessarily needed if its complicating matters a lot

Comment: [~mdoering@gbif.org] and [~cvizitiu@gbif.org], since Opera is the only browser where the bullet points don't work, and Opera is not on the list of supported browsers here ( PF-639 ), can we close this issue now?

Comment: Like I said already, I have nothing against "won't fix".

See the following page (on Firefox), specifically the methodology section http://www.gbif.org/dataset/95e635d4-f762-11e1-a439-00145eb45e9a
I'll attach a screenshot also.
Thanks to [~jlegind@gbif.org] for the find.
