207808 - Part of page shows as a "double image" (Table rendering problem?)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 195598

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect)

Description

[bradmcc]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529

When the URL is loaded, the picture at the top of the page,
and the little "ENLARGE" images under it show as a "double image".
Here is what it looks like: http://www.users.cloud9.net/~lcp/ghost.jpg

If you refresh the page, sometimes the double image will
get corrected.  Sometimes the page shows correctly.

The page is validated HTML 4.0 transitional.  It displays
correctly in Mozilla 1.3.1 and Internet Explorer 6.0.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load http://www.users.cloud9.net/~bradmcc/5015/index.html
2. If you don't get the "double image" reload the page.
3. Even just moving another window over the browser window and
then bringing the browser window  to the front again may cause the
page to correct itself.

Actual Results:  
Screen shot: http://www.users.cloud9.net/~lcp/ghost.jpg

Expected Results:  
Show the image as a "single image", without the "ghost"/"double".

I am running Windows 2000 SP2 over a dialup line, on a
Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop with 512 meg ram and 1400 x 1050
SXGA+ screen.

also getting this problem. sometimes pages get double rendered, with a slight
move change, which cause the double images effect. You can reproduce it as followed:

Go to http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/ and notice how the nav table at the top
starts out, and then is redrawn to the left. You can see traces of it on the
right, and you can see the clipping of the W in "We have RedHat 9 ISOs."
Or, to turn on the problem, shift-click the reload button, and to turn it off
plainly click the reload button. It's as clear as day then.

Indeed, same glitch happens here,

To witness the bug, shift-click the reload button, and to view the website
properly plainly click the reload button. It's as clear as day then.

oops, dupe of comment 3... (I'm Simplex)

I think it has something to do with appearence of scroll bar. As soon as page is
loaded enought so that it needs a scroll bar, scroll bar appears on the right
and "shifts" things to the left. And it isn't limited to images, 

later I'll attach a couple of screenshots one of them is from
http://bbs.pcstats.com/tweak3d/categories.cfm?catid=10 other from bugzilla page
itself showing similar behavior in text.

Attachment: example affecting text

Note that "Bugzilla" near top center is missing a "B". the "B" will reappear if
highlighted or page is moved/scrolled

yep i can reproduce the bug on that page, and maybe yes its somehting with the
scrollbars.

sorry for spam but:

the pic speaks for itself, note: double-rendering doesn't appear before a
scroll bar is loaded, only after.

example affecting text

Note that "Bugzilla" near top center is missing a "B". the "B" will reappear if
highlighted or page is moved/scrolled. But it doesn't dissappear until a scroll
bar appears.

Are you sure it's not a duplicate of bug 195598?
Because I am pretty sure it is, since I can't reproduce it on 1.4 RC3.

If someone feels it's not a dupe, reopen it.
