I've been modifying some of the more or less standard Drupal code to fix problems I've encountered.

In search.module, I shrank the size of the input text box. Otherwise, our layout exploded. I can't find a way in CSS to constrain the input box to prevent it from blowing up.

I modified nice_menus.js to assume the 4.7-ish Javascript support provided by the Ajax module. This allows more than one module to have an onload handler. The ajax_spellchecker wanted one, and so does nice_menus.

I modified filter.module to add a named div around the form with the permissions. This allowed me to shrink the size of the print in the 'th' elements, and thus get the form
to fit in the space allowed.
