At the comcast support page, when it launches a chat window appears.  When you
move to a different tab (any tab on any page), the chat window refreshes through
the currently displayed tab (Wrong z-order i think).  As I type this, the chat
box has re-appeared on this page.  It does not go away until the page is
scrolled, or a different tab is selected/reselected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. log in for support
2. open new tab while waiting for support
3. window appears in new tab

Actual Results:  
I just scrolled, and it looks like i am typing in the chat window now.  It
refreshed itself to the top seconds after I scrolled the page past the box.

Expected Results:  
I don't think I should see the page refresh in this tab.

standard theme, nothing overly special about this install

Is the "chat window" handled by the Real-player plug-in?
If so, this is a duplicate of bug 189029
