Strange Font Display In E-Bay

On my E-Bay account Active Sales screen, the Time Left column displays with an overlaying zero on the leading number (see attached). If I hit CTRL+F to highlight the time, the selections appear properly (see 2nd scan). Any direction to a solution would be appreciated. I'm using Windows 11 and the latest FF.

Does the Inspector give any clues about what causes this issue (i.e. what causes this extra zero) ?

You can right-click and select "Inspect" to open the built-in Inspector with this element selected.

No. The font size is .75rem (12px) and there is no sign of the overlaying zero. This is the only place in any of the visible HTML that it happens on any tabs that I use.

On the left side of the Inspector, are there any unexpected elements or text nodes in the cell? I don't know how that page works, but possibly 0 is a default value before the correct time is added by a script, and the script is not properly removing or hiding the 0 for some reason.

I did some more looking and it's the same crummy display in Edge so it must be the coding on the E-Bay site or some setting on my machine (I recently had to do a full re-install of Windows 11). I'll keep looking. Thank you for your help.

Can you attach a screenshot of the Inspector that show such a field with all nodes expanded ?

Can you get the '0' highlighted if you hover any of the nodes in the vicinity ? Node that you can toggle hover states in the right Rules pane.

Solved. It was bad E-Bay coding. Once I eliminated one of the display columns, the overlay problem was corrected.
