227655 - While viewing a website that contained a scrolling marquee, I tabbed to other pages and the scrolling marquee was visible on those pages as well. If I scrolled down on the other tabs, the marquee would distort the page.

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

Using tabbed browsing, a scrolling marquee on one specific tab is viewable on
all other tabs.  In addition, it distorts the page when scrolling up and down. 
To reproduce the page, you'll need to visit a site with a scrolling marquee. 
Unfortunately, the site I was visiting is only viewing from inside of my network.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open multiple tabs, one tab containing a webpage with a scrolling marquee
2.switch to the tab without the marquee
3.scroll up and down on all other tabs

Actual Results:  
the page was distort on all other tabs and the marquee didn't go away until I
closed the page that contained it.

Expected Results:  
not allowed the marquee to be visible outside of it's own tab.

Other than this one small bug.  You guys have done a wonderful job with your
products.  I'm extremely impressed and I can't wait to implement more of your
software into my daily use.

Do you see this bug with other pages that have marquees, such as
http://www.mountaindragon.com/html/marquee.htm?  Or does it only happen on the
page on your intranet?

I didn't experience any problems with the page you listed.  But, when trying to
access my school's internal library site, I still experience the same problem
identified before.  Here's the source if this helps:
