Don't know whether this tells you anything, comes from Page source!

What video driver are you using?

Also, are you using the EMX build or the VACPP build?

I've determined the problem occurs whenever an img tag specifies either 
relative or absolute height and/or width different from the original. I can 
take a simple page with one image and toggle the upsidedowness by adding 
height|width specs. It's also PM upsidedownness, i.e. topleft -> bottomleft as 
opposed to a topleft->bottomright flip.

Here (ATI Rage Pro, IBM SDD) I see it with both the EMX and VACPP builds. The 
problem appears to have cropped up with the new image lib and nsImageOS2 
update; it wasn't there in earlier builds. While that and the fact it doesn't 
occur with other apps in which images can be resized has me doubting the 
it's-a-driver-bug theory, several people have reported not seeing it with the 
current builds...

The VeriSign certs are upside down and reversed on several sites, mainly
bscu.org, my credit union.  My video card is a Matrox Mystique with 4mb of ram,
I am running SDD Pro, beta 42.  4.61 does not have the problem. 
I am using the Mozilla 0.9.3

Our investigation has shown that this only happens on GRADD drivers (Normal 
GRADD or Scitech) when running at 16 million colors.

it seems to be fixed in the first fixpak for Convenience Pak 1.

We are looking to see if there was actually an OS/2 bug fixed that resembles 
this.

It seems to have started with the new image library - no OS/2 specific changes 
caused it, we believe.

We have confirmation that this is an OS/2 bug that was fixed in the first FixPak 
for the convenience pack. It has not been fixed on Merlin at this time.

The workaround is not to run at 16 million colors.,\

The reason it probably started with the new imagelib is because the code was 
changed to have the platform specific code do the resizing of the images rather 
than the XP code.

So I am marking this as WONTFIX.

This is definitely an Os/2 bug
