HTML Page modified. So the bug isn't reproducable anymore.

Also seen on http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/.

You will have to go through a couple pages first (accept buttons at the end of
the pages). The Country selector menu when popped-up  and scrolled down a little
exhibits this behaviour.

Tried version 0.9.3 on W2K and on Mac OS X which both behaves this way.

Also happens on Linux nigthly build from aviary branch:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040926 Firefox/0.10

The OS should be set to all.

It seems trying to reload something every .1 second
Page is chaged so it's not possible to reproduce (no popup)
