166116 - Java banners/advertising display incorrectly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 137982

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Rick Damiani]

When you press the 'back' button, Mozilla returns to the previous page with that
page scrolled to whatever position you left it at. On some web pages that use
Java for navigation controls (such as wired.com) this results in the nav
controls and/or ads to be displayed oddly. I have a screen shot that I will try
to include that will explain better. If not, look for it at this URL:

http://www.paton.com/rick/javaerror.jpg
or
http://www.paton.com/rick/javaerror.tiff

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to http://www.wired.com
2. Click on a story that has more than one page (most do)
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the page 2 link
4. Click on the back button
5. Marvel at the misplaced grey boxes.

This is a screen shot of the display bug. It can be reproduced easily on my
system.

Those are IFRAMEs, so this is almost certainly a dup of bug 137982.
