Just checked it in Firefox and Safari and I'm getting the same results.

The language links are output as part of the form, hence they adopt the compact vertically stacked layout. Since they are the first thing output[*], we could move them outside the form and allow them to spread out; but I'm not sure this improves the page's appearance.

• Also true in Create account if we reposition the CAPTCHA. And note that if we reintroduce start and end messaging on these pages, we will have a similar issue of whether it should be confined to the narrow layout.

What the page looks like with languagelinks moved out of the narrow form area.

Possible improvement

It's not the greatest solution, but if we reduce the size and add some margins to the Language Links, it's not terribly obtrusive.

That's a good interim solution to run. Two more changes I'd like to see:

• The pipe separators make it harder to scan the list. A bullet or comma separated list may be better, or no punctuation at all perhaps.
• Retaining the black text color when the field labels are grey is slightly wonky information hierarchy. It may be good to have them be the same color as "Username", "Password", etc.

File a separate enhancement bug(s) for language links improvements like these and improve the useless tooltip (title attribute) on the links.
