166556 - tabs in Java property sheet are covered by garbage

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Andrew E. Schulman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

A Java-based table-of-contents tree appears at the left of this page.  At the
top of the tree are 4 tabs for different views: Contents, Index, Search, Help. 
The tabs are there, but I can't see them because they're covered by garbage (a
fragment of the top of the Contents tree).

Note: I know this is a Java problem, but I don't know if it's "Java APIs for
DOM" or some other part of Java.  Sorry, but I have no idea what DOM, WebShell,
and XPCOM are, and the component descriptions don't tell me.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to the site.
2.  Enter username onlinedoc, password sas.
3.  Problem appears in tree view at left.

Actual Results:  
The tabs are there; I can click on them and they work.  But they're hidden by
garbage.


Expected Results:  
Displayed tabs.

My Java plugin is Sun Java 1.3.1_04.  

The same problem appears on my home box: Windows 2000, Mozilla 1.1
Gecko/20020826, Sun Java 1.4.

Netscape 4.78 with Sun Java 1.3.1_04 displays the page correctly.

This happens identically in IE and Opera.
=> this is a bug within SUN's Java (ask them to fix it) or maybe in the applet
itself (bug the web designer to fix it).
=> INVALID (the Java components in bugzilla are only for Mozilla's interface to
Java)

OK; agreed.  Thanks for your time.

This does not happen in IE.  I can view it without problems in IE on several
different machines.

Jeff, this supposedly happens with certain versions/installations of the Java VM
or plugin, not necessarily with all.
To have a point, you should make sure Mozilla and IE (on the same machine, of
course) are using the same Java installation (in Mozilla type "about:plugins"
into the address bar and you should at least get the version etc.) and still
displaying differently.

I could attach screenshots of Opera and IE exhibiting this bug, but I guess you
trust me (or if not, I also could manipulate them...).
