I don't see any obvious overlap, linux trunk build 2002-05-14-08.  Any chance of
a screenshot that shows the problem?  Attach it to this bug using
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?bugid=144595&action=enter

No overlap observed when testing a current CVS build, Linux.

Comment 8

[Chris Petersen]

I can't reproduce the problem in the August 5th build (2002-08-05-05 1.0) under
OS  X . Reporter, Is this still occuring in a newer nightly build ?

[Wenqing Jiang]

On 20020804, I can't see any problem.  I think this
problem can be canceled.

Verified this bug (actually bug Bug 161608) in Mozilla build: 2002080614
NT 4.0 SP 6a with URLs indicated in bug 161608.
Navigating using the links produced by these URLs:
http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=MonsonHaefel-Column1
http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=MonsonHaefel-Column2
directly does not show immediately this bug.

But the first URL has a link: "Column 2: EJB 2.1 Web Services"
and
the second URL has a link: "Column 1: What's New in EJB 2.1"
on the top of these pages.
Using these links several times will show the problem as we see in
the attached picture to the bug 161608.

Deepak or Vladimir, can you still reproduce the problem on a current trunk build?

Yes. I can reproduce it in Mozilla 1.2.1 in W2000 and just verified
with the latest build 2003011508 under WinNT 4.0 SP 6a.
To reproduce you can follow the steps described in my post:

I can confirm that the URL below now works for me. I have earlier reported the
exact same problem on overlapping on theserverside.com.

http://theserverside.com/home/thread.jsp?thread_id=13471

Comment 28

[Vladimir]

Some of the previous URL do not show overlapping as for example
http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=MonsonHaefel-Column1
http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=MonsonHaefel-Column2

This URL still shows it:

That page has a table with a width of 720 px and a div positioned at 722px from
the left.

But the table's content doesn't fit inside 720px (at least not with the font
size I use), so it overlaps with the div.

I'm marking this bug worksforme, since no one can come up with an actual example
of it.  Please file new clear bugs on problems you encounter.
