Details

Go to the above uri. Make your window very small, and scroll so that you can see the bottom scroll bar of one of the red-bordered DIVs. Maximise your window. Ugh! The scroll bar renders around 40px too high, and the border breaks up a little. Forcing a reflow usually returns the status quo, although sometimes it makes it worse.
AFAICT, what's actually happening is that the whole frame (or whatever you guys call them) that contains the scrolled contents of the DIV is moved up by a few pixels when redrawing. This is persistent over redraws but not reflows. It appears (but I may be wrong) that a scrolling element must be on screen during the reflow for the bug to occur. However, if one frame is affected, both will show the problem.

Summary: Reflow errors particularily visible with scroll bars → Reflows place UI elements in the wrong place
Ok, this bug is more general than I thought. What actually happens is that any UI element, *including all form elements*, get drawn put in the wrong place when reflowing. This occurs more and more dramatically, the further away from the top of the document you are (in this respect it is similar to bug #2748). The original uri was: http://www.bath.ac.uk/%7Epy8ieh/internet/eviltests/floatgrowth.html ...but this also occurs on this specially designed page: http://www.bath.ac.uk/%7Epy8ieh/internet/projects/mozilla/forms.html Simply scroll to the bottom and resize your window. The more you resize, the more the elements move. The further down you are when you resize, the more the elements move.
