Fish Game Tutorial not viewable

There's something screwy in the HTML for the fish game tutorial included with TGB. I can read the first couple of steps, but the third one — where it should be showing me the code for the movement behavior — begins in the middle of a function ("%this.owner.setLinearVelocityX((%this.right - %this.left) * %this.horizontalSpeed").

Moreover, the function overlaps the text; all I can see is about two letters of the description to the left of the text.

It's like the code division is being misplaced, overlapping the text and being cut off on top.

I'm using the latest version of Firefox; nothing unusual about my browser. All the other tutorials look fine.

Oi... every time I try to use TGB, I run into some silly thing like this. It's very frustrating.

I'm not sure how much this helps, but I'm using Safari and I got through the Fish Game tutorial without running into problems like you've described. To see if I could replicate what's happening to you, I opened the file in the latest version of Firefox and looked through each page of the tutorial but didn't see what you're seeing. I know you're probably not on a Mac, but you might want to try opening the "Documentation Overview.html" in a different browser and see what happens.
