There's a Java applet at http://www.naq.com/ which provides a stock market
scroller.  This applet does two odd things with respect to placement, since it
tries to stay at the top of the content area:

If the URL is opened in a new window, with no tabs, scroll the page so the
applet is at the very top of the content area.  Next, open a link from the page
in the background into a new tab.  The applet will not be cleared from the
newly-created tabbar when the link is opened.  Once I was able to get the applet
to continue to run in the tabbar, but have not been able to figure out the steps
which did this.

Also, try scrolling the page with the applet, via the scrollbar tab, arrow
buttons, keyboard, and scroll wheel.  It does odd things when scrolling.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open URL in window without tabbar
2.  Scroll the page down a bit so the scrolling ticker applet is at the very top
of the content area (seems to work best when scrolling via the scrollbar tab)
3.  Open link from URL into a new tab, in the background so you remain on the
original URL
 

Actual Results:  
New tab opened, but some of the contents of the tabbar are occluded.

Expected Results:  
Created the tabbar after clearing the area of the applet content.
