Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020830

When a <EMBED is used in a page containing an animated background image, Mozilla
refresh continuously the page

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use the testcase
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Loop on refresh

Expected Results:  
Don't refresh

The original page was http://www.melinistes.net/ , but this page is very heavy
and subject to change. So i made a very simple test case using only:
resource:///res/samples/gear1.gif for the background
resource:///res/samples/test.wav for the plugin

I use Quicktime 5.05

If you have problems with the test case, If you don't see the bug or you see the
refresh only one or two times, close all windows, clear the cacheS
and open the test case.

Using Mac/2002083017/9.2.2, I noticed the background flickering while the plug-in content 
was playing. Revising Summary and reassigning to plug-ins.

(Note: I crashed while reloading the testcase, generating TB10313595E.)

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".

This bug hasen't been touched for years and is clearly unowned. Moving back to default assignee/QA so that people, who are watching those can accurately triage this bug.

Also resetting Priority, Target Milestone, Status Whiteboard and Status.

Is this still an issue with recent builds ?
