This seems to be a Macintosh specific problem. Maybe you know who should get the bug

Mark, I talked to Patrick Beard and he said you might be the person to look at this problem.
Is this on 4.X only or 5.X or both? I can't access the url mentioned above because I don't have access to netscape internal servers. Would it be possible for you to send me a zip file of the stuff? Also, if you have any other OJI test cases, that would be great as well. Thanks.
By "outside the browser window" do you mean that the Applet's bounding area overlaps AppRunner's toolbars and scrollbars when you start scrolling (a heavyweight / lightweight problem)? Or do you mean the Applet window actually exists outside the window which contains AppRunner? I guess browser window is an overloaded term here. Are you referring to the html pane which is being scrolled via AppRunner's scrollbars, or are you referring to the top-level window that contains the whole browser (toolbars, buttons included).
If you open the apprunner and load this url so that the applet box is only about 1/2 displayed at the bottom left. When with applet starts, the applet box with the applet running sits over the bottom scroll bar. Half of the box is in the html window and half is outside it. If you then scroll up the html page the applet does not move, but by scrolling, a number of partial black rectangles will be drawn on the html page. To answer your questions, I am talking about the html page and that the applet bounding area is overlaping the bottom scroll bar. Hope this helps.

Yes, thanks. I understand now. I will have to ask Patrick about this bug. I think it has to do with the way the Mac draws it's windows
This may well be an MRJ problem -- we saw exactly the same problem in IE and iCab that was recently fixed internally in MRJ 2.2. MRJ 2.2ea2 is due out soon; you may want to check and see if it's fixed in there. Browsing randomly through bugs, Eric MRJ team (writing from home)

I talked with Patrick Beard about this bug. He and I both agreed that all plugins on the Mac are going to have this problem. So I'm going to reclassify this as a plugin bug. Let me know if you need help reproducing or tracking down the bug. The behavior is that the plugin gets painted/drawn over the scrollbar regions of the browser, and also, when you start scrolling the browser window up and down, it leaves paint trails behind. The reason this is happening is because I suspect the plugin's content region is not being revalidated correctly.

Can anybody confirm this is still present?

Is this still happening?
Added shrir@netscape.com to cc list. Shrir could you take a look at this bug and provide some input as to whether it is still happening.
This applet appears fine (inside the browser window)on mac build 2000061214m17.
This is still happening for me. Here are some URLs of images that show the problem: 1) The initial load of my applet: http://pjgray.ne.mediaone.net/images/avid/initial_load.jpg 2) Scrolling the applet up: http://pjgray.ne.mediaone.net/images/avid/scroll_up.jpg 3) Scrolling the applet back down: http://pjgray.ne.mediaone.net/images/avid/scroll_down.jpg 4) Showing the applet in a smaller window: http://pjgray.ne.mediaone.net/images/avid/smaller_window.jpg
shrir, PJGray, could you please see whether this still happens? We think that a recent check-in for plug-in content positioning on the Mac should have fixed this.
This is still happening with the 10/26 Mac commercial branch build.
This is definately still happening in the build that we use. I am not sure of the Build ID (commercial branch?) but we download it from here: http://www.mozilla.org/oji/MRJPlugin.html I personally am using Netscape 4.73 on MAC OS9.0.4 (its a cube). However, we use many different versions of Netscape here, and they all show the same problem with the plugin.
Still happening? Milestone->Future

Mac -- Peter, would you give an update on this when you have a chance?

petersen or pmac, can you test this and see if it's still "displaying outside the browser window". It could also be a dup of other familiar pluign painting problems while scrolling on Mac. Thanks!
