107007 - possible critical rendering bug

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: GFX, defect)

Description

[Peter Asemann]

The dark grey bar on the left side of the EFF homepage does not display
correctly if you scroll up and down in Mozilla 0.9.5 on both Win98 and Linux
though it was displayed perfectly by Mozilla 0.8.1. Maybe it's just because of
some "quirks" mode something, but maybe it's critical... who knows.

Need reduced test case

Attachment: a first attempt to break down the page to faciliate a test case

Attachment: a testcase made of a completely different page, same problem

it seems to me like the problem is background-color-changing of divs in
row-spanned table cells (sounds strange to me). mozilla 0.8.1 on linux renders
this testcase as perfect as the other one.

Maybe the problems are not the same, but it seems similar, at least.
The difference I see is that in the first testcase the background color is
displayed and destroyed by scrolling, and the background color is assigned to a
TD that contains a div. In the new testcase the background color is assigned to
a DIV, and not displayed at all.
Whatever, I just guess this might have the same reason or be related.
I better shut up until I'm asked something as I have no idea what I talk about ;-)
