From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120
BuildID: 2001112009
This fault occurs on a page which, according to your introduction, will be
displayed in Quirks mode, as it has no doc type declaration, but the html is
standard and very simple. Three screen dumps illustrating aspects of the problem
are to be found at:
http://www.riverman.fsbusiness.co.uk/mozscr6.jpg
http://www.riverman.fsbusiness.co.uk/mozscr6a.jpg
http://www.riverman.fsbusiness.co.uk/mozscr6b.jpg
In summary, there is serious disturbance to the border around a table. In some
places it is missing, in other places it is displayed where it should not be
(i.e., above or below the limits of the table is appears to belong to). There is
also disturbance to the background image, which appears to be connected to the
border disturbance but may not be. There is NO non-standard html code used on
the page. The problem is exacerbated by scrolling, particularly close to the top
of the page, when the disturbance in the background image manifests itself. I
must emphasise that there is no non-standard code here: the reader is invited to
look at it.
Some aspects of the bug appear every time reliably: the border problems at the
top of the page. Border disturbances further down, and disturbances in the
background image, are less reliable, but appear 30-50 per cent of the time.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
0. Please look at the screen shots. In each case, the upper image is Moz 0.9.6,
the lower IE5.5sp2.
1. Go to http://www.riverman.fsbusiness.co.uk/events.html
2. Part of the problem is immediately visible, at the top of the page, with
spurious table borders where there is no table. (Check the code.)
3. Scroll a little way down and fidget the page up and down to reproduce other
aspects of the problem.
Actual Results: Disturbance in the display of table borders and, less reliably,
in the background image around the table are observed.
Expected Results: See lower image in screen shots, from IE5.5sp2. Clean
borders, consistent background image.
Here is the beginning of the page code for the page cited. (The Java replace
routine is used widely on my site, and causes no problems.)

Please see the screen shots on file mozscr6a.jpg for disturbance at the top of
the page. For disturbances further down, see mozscr6.jpg and mozscr6b.jpg (all

None of the problems shown in the screenshots are visible on a current linux CVS.

WFM, win98SE, 2001112903
Works fine here too W2k 2001-12-01-08. Please try a nightly build from:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/
uh oh. Going back there today to re-check, i see mispaintings.
Some of the side gifs appear/disappear when scrolling.
Grab slider and drag down/up from top of page to see remnants of borders
painting randomly. Confirming bug.

I've just tested this for the first time on 98, and it's showing an extra quirk:
the vertical scroll button all but disappears. There's a screen shot at
http://www.riverman.fsbusiness.co.uk/mozscr11.jpg
on which the red circles are highlighting the semi-missing scroll button and the
problems with the table frames.
I think this bug must be related to video memory management, as it only seems to
occur on this very large page --
http://www.riverman.fsbusiness.co.uk/eventsx.html
which is all in the form of a table.
S.H.
