117673 - Slowness of drop down menus on page

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Andrew McGregor]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120
BuildID:    2001112009

When clicking on the drop down menus on the above page, the browser becomes slow
after a few mouse clicks.  IE6 on Windows XP has no problems with the menus however.

The drop downs seem to have some kind of customisation to them - however I'm not
a web designer :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to
http://gradunet5.gradunet.co.uk/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Gradunet3.woa/46/wa/link?articleName=new%20JobFinder&pathName=%2FContentCreated%2FJobCentre%2FJobsCentreContent&wosid=OE4tlgNay2Kj3i1iN9P1lAW9PIh&pageName=JobFinder&articlePath=%2FContentCreated%2FJobCentre%2FJobsCentreContent&type=Link
2. Select a few drop down boxes.

Actual Results:  Mozilla window becomes slow, with the drop down boxes taking
5-10 seconds to appear.

Expected Results:  No delay should be observed with the page.

wfm using build 2002010103 on Win2k w/ 900MHz PC. It's not blazing fast but
acceptable (less than 1 second for me).
Reporter, can you try with a nightly build ?

I can't reproduce the slowness issue described.  Tested the Jan 2nd build
(2002-01-02-03) under Windows ME. Machine tested (Pent III 500 mhz).
