Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0

This doesn't happen every time I visit the page (and seems to work fine on my Linux machine).  When I visit planet.mozilla.org the initial drawing appears to complete as normal.  However when I scroll, only a small portion of the page is updated, and the rest remains as it was last drawn.

I can resize the window and the drawing is still not updated (though when I mouse over things that have :onhover attribute, they are redrawn.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit planet.mozilla.org
2. Do anything that would cause Firefox to draw something new (scroll, resize window, etc)
3. Observe bug

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile

Works fine for me on:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0a1) Gecko/20110607 Firefox/7.0a1

Reporter, did you had the chance to verify what was suggested in Comment 1?

I can't reproduce this reliably anymore.  Marking Resolved.Invalid.
