When I visit the Linux Kernel mailing list archive 
and the list of messages gets larger (towards the end of the week)
I sometimes get gaps in the text when I swicth from an individual e-mail
to thread view

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the page (towards the end of the week.
2. Read an e-mail near the top of the page
3.Press the "Back" button or click "Thread" link.
4. Repeat 2 and 3 about 5-10 times. 

Actual Results:  
There are gaps between the links to individual messages
in the "Thread" view and the page is cut off at the top
(only partially displayed).

Expected Results:  
It's kind of obvious :-)

What makes you think this is a parser bug?

Comment 3

[Gregor Fajdiga]

I am not sure of course, I was just
guessing and this seemed to be the most
probable category.

Comment 4

[Gregor Fajdiga]

I can of course reassign the bug to a different category. Which do you find the
most appropriate?

Gregor, please try a newer build like Mozilla 1.5 or (even better) 1.6a.
I have tried to reproduce this bug on several occassions with different builds
without seeing any problems.

-> Browser-General (until we know what the problem is)

1.7alpha or a nightly build), please feel free to reopen this bug and give
details. thanks.
