128070 - Mozilla fails to render page body style (background color)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect, P2)

Description

[Christopher Cook]

See attached test case. Open index.htm, the page should render with a left hand
frame, dark background, some menu items. right frame is a white page. Move the
mouse over the bottom link of the left hand frame. left hand frame becomes half
white/half dark (rendering of background colour stops where the content stops
rather than filling the frame). spooky. I'd be perfectly happy if it turned out
I was doing something wrong but the page renders fine in IE5.5 and I have seen
this type of bug in mozilla before but that was fixed years ago (literally)..

Attachment: Page rendering testcase

Unzip the testcase and open index.htm, move over the left hand links, page
background color half-disappears for me..

By the way, attached testcase is a zip file so you may have to save it as .zip
(comes up as attachment.cgi for me..)

Ah, more specific perhaps, save this snippet of css as styles.css, replacing the
existing copy, it shows that changing font family on hover is the part that
causes the problem, changing text-decoration etc works fine, changing font on
link hover causes the backround rendering glitch:

.bodyStyle1 {
	background-color : #C0C0C0;
}

a.lightlink:hover {
	font-family : Arial;
}

seems like ... ugh ...  a dup of bug 63863 ...

Comment 5

[Christopher Hoess (gone)]

Maybe related to bug 88154 instead?

Comment 6

[Christopher Cook]

Quite possibly related to all sorts of other bugs as the problem also occurs in
builds as old as 2001-12-21-06.

I have the same problem with www.ondelette.com. Go to left menu. As you go over
the links, the "mouseover" effect changes the background color to white from blue.

Really scary stuff.

Comment 8

[Daniel Lemire]

Please move this bug from unconfirmed to new since anyone can easily reproduce
the effect.

Comment 9

This is a scrolling="no" issue on the left frame. Changing it to "auto" will
resolve this problem. Changing component to HTML Frames

[Daniel Lemire]

Thanks for the woraround. Indeed, it fixes the problem on ondelette.com. The
background doesn't change anymore under Mozilla.

Thanks for switching the bug to "NEW".

The prescribed workaround works for the testcase too, setting scrolling="no" to
scrolling="auto" or scrolling="yes" lets the page function normally.

This testcase crashes when I try to load it now.  But it sounds *so* much like
the other scrolling="no" problems that I can't believe it won't be fixed with
119849.

Not crashing anymore, and fixed with bug 119849.
