Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 100951

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.9+)

Anytime I try to browse web sites with large amounts of content, or are large in
file size. They may have huge pictures or lots of content, Mozilla, only on 
Windows all of a sudden acts like it cannot handle these large HTML files. You
are hardly able to scroll these sites with the scroll bar. I have no problem on
Linux, but on Windows XP it is an awful experience.
I have an AMD 1200 Athlon with 640 DDR 2100 RAM, so I know it is not my PC, and
with IE, Netscape 4, nor Opera do I have this problem with. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try Directron.com
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Not able to scroll freely.

Expected Results:  none

none

I cannot reproduce this bug in Mozilla 1.0 Windows 98 (256Mb). Reporter
(jorge), please can you 
check to see whether this bug is still present
in a recent build (Moz 1.0 or a new nightly build). 
If this bug does not occur
please can you resolve it worksforme.

Comment 5

[jorge]

The bug is only present in official releases such as Mozilla 1.0, not on nightly
builds.

duping this to the meta bug, i think the slow scrolling issue is quite known.
