Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Mike]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3) Gecko/20090305 Firefox/3.1b3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3) Gecko/20090305 Firefox/3.1b3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When I log in to the live timing the top of the applet window is initially cut off. I can regain the top rows if I scroll down, however, when I open the timing applet in a separate window, I can not get the top rows back.
Also, the timing information does not update timely. It appears that the old information does not get updated and cleared correctly. The screen updates when I hit the 'resize' corner. The applet works correctly in Safari and on the latest stable and beta version of Firefox in Windows. I updated the OS X browser to the beta version, just to see if it would cure the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open http://www.formula1.com/services/live_timing/
2.Log into free account
3.
Actual Results:  
Applet loads and the live timing information is displayed. The top 4 or 5 rows do not show up. Timing information does not update correctly.

Expected Results:  
All of the applet screen should display. Screen updates (sector times, position changes etc.) show immediately and correctly.

Issue has disappeared on the 3.0.9 release, although the refresh is still slower and less accurate than on safari.

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox 3.6.x or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and comment on the bug.
