20467 - Browser window jerks when moving mouse pointer inside window

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Andrei Popov]

Overview Description:

When moving mouse pointer inside browser window it suddenly jerks up or down,
messing up everything and making it virtually impossible to click on any link.

Steps to Reproduce:
  1) Fire up Mozilla
  2) Go to any website (http://slashdot.org/ will do just fine)
  3) Let the page render, scroll down a bit
  4) Try moving mouse pointer
  5) Enjoy the show

Actual Results:
Well, as said in overview description, the screen jumps up or down and all the
rendering gets all messed up: pieces of graphics get into middle of the page,
your actual location on the page is shown wrongly by a scrollbar, etc.

Expected Results:
I'd expect just being able to move mouse, scroll down, if necessary, then move a
pointer some more--without anything getting messy.

Build Date & Platform Bug Found:
Seamonkey nightly build 1999113008,
Debian GNU/Linux with 2.2.12 kernel on mobile PII-266 w/128Mb RAM (IBM TP 770E)

This seems to have gone away: SeaMonkey 1999120608 works fine.

Reassigning all of leger's unscreened Browser-General bugs to [e-mail]
for pre-screening and triage.

[e-mail], can you confirm that this problem is no longer occurring
with a current build?

Thanks!

This looks like one of those temporary glitches that come and go...

Comment 4

[Andrei Popov]

Confirm works fine with M12 and the 2000010416 nightly.

Marking as WORKSFORME then... little danger of this going un-noticed if
it starts happening again.

Marking Verified.
