This bug is brand-new. I did not exist in 20020602.

Go to http://piology.org/mozilla/bugzilla/simple-query.html and press the submit
button. The table freaks out for a short moment before coming back to its
original position before the result is loaded.

It's still actual (Windows 2000):

Maybe this is the wrong component. Why would we rerender the page in the first
place on submitting the form?

> Why would we rerender the page

Because buttons trigger reflows when you click them (their paddings change).  A
minimal testcase would be very helpful here...

For some reasons the problem went away.
