Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 205165

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

When going to the ESPN site, there is an ad located near the top of the page. It
is coded to move dynamically. Occasionally, when I open the browser on the page,
the page looks "folded up" and all the text and images do not appear. I notice
this happens on other pages as well. It occurs on the L.A. Times web site pages
and on CNet's pages as well. But this does not occur all the time. It occurs
when they have dynamic HTML that lengthens or shortens the page. Always this
expanding section is an advertisement. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. GO to the urls with "expanding" ads
2. Page will appear to be broken
3. Tested with IE 6 and this never occurs
4. Note: This also occurs with the Bookmarks menu sometimes. The bookmarks menu
will appear "folded" and you cannot click on anything correctly.
Actual Results:  
Sometimes the page appears "folded" and broken. Sometimes it loads okay. When
this has happened with the Bookmarks menu, it is particularly annoying.

Expected Results:  
Expect Mozilla to bring up the Web Page intact. Expect to be able to organize my
bookmarks by getting a workable menu.

I believe the "folding" web pages and the "folding" bookmarks menu are related!

Duping against bug 205165, based on the connection with the flash ad,
