Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040405 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040405 Firefox/0.8.0+

At http://www.riemenschneider-gymnasium.de/, there are one or more lines drawn
over the content div which uses overflow: auto. They relate to the CSS-only menu
on the right side; sometimes you can move the lines when opening submenus.

Furthermore, submenus partly are displayed over the mentioned div. They close
when the mouse pointer hits the area where the menu is over the div.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.riemenschneider-gymnasium.de/
2. Open submenus by moving the mouse over the menu
(3. Move the mouse pointer to the left border of a submenu)
Actual Results:  
Misrendering as described in "Details".

Expected Results:  
- No bad lines over the div
- Submenus should not hide when the mouse pointer hits the content area (under
the submenu)

I don't see the lines but the menu closes when i move the mouse over the content
area ( to the left of the scroll bar )

Firefox/0.8.0+

But I notice:

Reproducible: sometimes
1. open another window (notepad, DOM inspector, whatever)
2. move the new window so it hides the line
3. move the new window away
Results: sometimes the offending line disappears.

Does anybody remember this bug? :-)

I don't wanna be impatient, but I'd like to see at least the disappering of the
submenus fixed in near future. Shall I open another bug for this?

Thanks!

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

I just gave Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 a try, and both issues seem to be fixed.    
   
The only problem remaining is that when you move fast over the menu, the 
submenu display is partly delayed, but this isn't that bad. If someone cares, 
please reopen. 
   
Thank you very much!
