The page shows at the top three quarters some broken
image icons and parts of a navigation panel.

Scrolling down, I find the page mostly rendered as I see
it in an old netscape 4.7 as well as in mozilla-1.2b

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. just load the url mentioned above.


Actual Results:  
The layout of the page is messed up.

Expected Results:  
I should have rendered the page as I see it normally,
i.e. with Netscape 4.7 or Mozilla-1.2b

WFM
This is probably bug 182500, please try with 1.2.1 where this should be fixed.

I thought I was using 1.2.1. At least I used the
mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.2.1-installer.tar.gz

According to the startup script however, I got 1.2b build on 20021126, so
maybe the installer is wrong ???

wfm 2002112607/win98 (1.3a). It sounds like your upgrade didn't work. Check
about: should be rv1.2.1. 

This does look like it would be affected by 182500.

(n.b. this bug probably doesn't have a very useful summary)

Now I explicitly downloaded the 1.2.1-sea.tar.gz and things work fine. 
Obviously the installer DOES download the wrong version on Linux.

Thanks for your patience.
