126358 - Mozilla misrenders boring HTML -- regression?

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Phil Bordelon]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.8+) Gecko/20020218
BuildID:    2002021803

This just started happening on recent builds.  My homepage is merely one
instance that I've seen; it's pretty much everywhere (slashdot, other pages,
often with black backgrounds).  It seems that Moz is choosing to render things
black instead of whatever colour they're supposed to be rendered in.

Interestingly, if I scroll the screen up and down on a page exhibiting this
behaviour, sometimes it fixes it . . . and sometimes it doesn't.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the page in Mozilla.

Actual Results:  Ugly rendering.

Expected Results:  Intelligent rendering.

Not much more to say here--I had been using an old build, and when I switched to
20020216 the problems started.  Later builds haven't helped the situation any.

Attachment: Screenshot of the misrendering

This is a screenshot of the misrender.	For the record, visited links should be
red (the Comics link is correct; the others aren't).

Almost certainly a dup of bug 125795

Fixed deliciously with recent code changes.  Woot.
