I see the Back/Forward navigation buttons, and then a wide, empty
space all the way over to the vertical separator.  Next to that is a
double-down arrow (the sort you expect to see when there is a More...
selection) which, when clicked, provides me with the drop-down boxes
for navigating the text on a separate line directly below the
Back/Forward.  Selecting a key to navigate to causes the text to
change to the desired entry properly, but the second line with the
choosers then disappears again, and I have to click the double down
arrow again to navigate away from the new page.  All the tools are
there as they should be, its just that they seem to expand out and
require their own row in the layout, which then requires the selection
of the More... button to show them.  Clearly it's a "feature" of the
Mac-ness of it.  If my description isn't clear, I can give you a
screenshot when I fire the Mac up again.
