157001 - My Netscape web site display corrupted

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 148075

(Core :: Layout, defect, P1)

Description

[Waldemar Horwat]

I log on to My Netscape.  I scroll down to one of the stories in my News pane
and click on it.  I read the story and then press the back button to come back
to the My Netscape page.  About 70% of the time the page is corrupted -- the
banner ad appears on top of the content.  Specifically, the content is scrolled
down to where I was last looking at the page, but the banner ad, which should
now be scrolled off the top of the window, appears in the position that it would
have if the page were scrolled all the way to the top.  Scrolling or updating
the page doesn't fix the corruption.  Resizing it does.

This bug is mostly reproducible but not always because the My Netscape server
content changes so often.  Sometimes My Netscape serves ad content that appears
OK; most of the time it doesn't.

Hi, my bug 157030 was resolved against this one. I had a fully reproducible set
of steps there, as well as a more descriptive summary. Some of this might be
useful to this bug.

Yes, I believe this type of problem has been reported numerous time as well. I
can get it to happen at ebay.com.

1) Go to ebay.com and submit a search.
2) After query results are listed, scroll to bottom of page and click on last
item listed.
3) After link opens and displays, press the back toolbar icon.
4) Page loads but top ad banner is repostioned in the middle of page.
5) If you scroll up/down by dragging the scrollbar, the ad banner content is not
displayed(appears grey)
