double-clicking the word "The" at the top of this page (after the anchor has
been scrolled to) selects the header "Executable JAR Files" and the paragraph
below it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

confirmed with linux trunk build 20021123

That's only the start of the weirdness.  Start at 'The -jar Option' and drag
select to the end of the page.  The problem seems to be that the paragraphs are
out of order (!).  It should be:
"The -jar Option", "Executable JAR Files", "The jre Command" and "Compatibility"
Mozilla displays it as:
"The -jar Option", "The jre Command", "Compatibility" and "Executable JAR Files"

The second half of the page is in italics because it has:
<i>The Java Versioning Specification</tt>
Interestingly, if I correct that (</tt> ==> </i>), then I do not see the
problem.  Also, loading locally, the problem does not appear.  Loading from a
relatively fast server sometimes exhibits the bug, so it seems to be
reflow/timing related.

One time, I even got the "The jre Command" section to repeat itself.

i can't see the rearrangement on Mozilla1.2b.
but selecting that paragraph will rusult in some strange thing.

Is this still a problem?  I can't reproduce the reordering, no matter how many
times I reload or shift-reload....

with linux trunk 20030503, I see:
"Executable JAR Files" "The jre Command" "Compatibility" "The jre Command"

Hmm.. using http pipelining or not?

I was using pipelining, but disabling it doesn't help.  Also View Source shows
the source just fine, so probably not networking.
