Looks like an issue with a rel pos div with top:-2px inside some tables.  But
this but needs a minimized testcase...

[Daniel Wang]

can't see the differences between msie5 and Mozilla rendering.
got a side-by-side screenshots

Comment 3

[Lars Pohlmann]

it's because I changed the source-code. i needed this page working in my browser.
somewhere here: http://www.mysqlstat.org/en/ you'll find the original template.

"Somewhere"?  Where?

Attachment: testcase

confirming on linux and winXP

Comment 7

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

This could still use a _minimal_ testcase.  Or is that testcase at the point
where removing any line of CSS or HTML makes the bug disappear?

Comment 8

[Madhur Bhatia]

from the testcase attachment ...
1.  If I remove the 1st and 2nd cell from the code - I am not able to reproduce
the broken table tabs in the 2nd DIV 
2.  If I remove the style 
div.tabMain {  background: ThreeDFace;  }
I am not able to reproduce the bug

I will still try to get a much more minimised testcase 

Comment 9

[Madhur Bhatia]

If I remove the style 

a.tab {	font:	Menu; }

I am unable to reproduce the broken tabs in the 2nd DIV

NOTE :
With each ctrl+reload u see different layout of the table

(Also note that attachment 122914 [details] in bug 205087 comment 4 is a good example of a
minimal testcase.  That testcase, and the analysis already done on bug 205087,
is why I duped to a newer bug.)
