build id: 1999042608
reproduces on: mac os 8.5.1, windows nt
linux crashes when doing this - see other bug...

to reproduce: select open from the file menu. open a local html file. the window
that comes up exhibits graphic defects: the back/forwards/reload etc. buttons
may or may not draw. if there is a graphic image at the top of the page it may
draw over the location: url or on the background for that part of the page, etc.

expected result: the newly created window that displays the local file should
look as good as the main apprunner window (that is, no graphic defects, etc.)

Bill, is this fixable for M5?
This is yet another manifestation of the "shared XUL document" problem.  I'm not
sure how we're going to fix it.  It's an xptoolkit problem (vs. an xpapps
problem).  I'll try to find out who to assign it to and do so tomorrow.

Peter, Bill says this looks to be caused by the "shared XUL document" problem
that Hyatt and Waterson are working on fixing.

Could you elaborate, Bill?  What's causing the bad drawing?

I don't see how a few shared nodes between the two navigator.xul instances could
cause garbled drawing.  Is this really the cause?

Mmmm, conflation is good. Marking verified duplicate.
Moving all Apprunner bugs past and present to Other component temporarily whilst
don and I set correct component.  Apprunner component will be deleted/retired
shortly.
