Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 157444

(Core :: Layout: Floats, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030324

When viewing the page http://galeon.sourceforge.net/shots/ it seemed odd that
the screenshots were jumbled together so that two images were placed next to
each other (horizontally).  After clicking on one of the links and pressing the
back button, the rendering changed!  It now was rendered with the images in a
vertical line down the left side of the page, with no two images on the same
horizonal.

Pressing the reload button causes the page to be rendered properly with the
images one per line.  However, pressing Shift-reload causes the page to be
rendered incorrectly.  This is repeatable every time.

I'll attach some screenshots.  Using Moz 1.3 on RH 6.2, compiled from SRPM for
RH7 on Moz site.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://galeon.sourceforge.net/shots/
2. notice bad rendering
3. hit reload
4. notice good rendering
5. hit shift-reload
6. notice bad rendering

Actual Results:  
bad rendering

Expected Results:  
good rendering

Using Moz 1.3 on RH 6.2, compiled from SRPM for RH7 on Moz site.

I fixed this bug a few days ago.
