21664 - incremental redraw sometimes fails to redraw

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 20185

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[sarnold]

While scrolling up and down on long webpages, sometimes the incremental redraw

doesn't actually get around to redrawing the page...



Using a pre-debian of the latest CVS source that builds...

Using the 12/14 cvs tree, the redraws happen much better, except it seems some

frames are not repainted. However, by moving other windows on top of the

effected area, and then sliding them around, I can get it to repaint those frames.

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

I can still reproduce this error on the URL provided, using debian's m12 (from
frozen) -- the left frame fails to redraw properly when switching desktops, when
resizing the window, and perhaps at other times as well.

Head to the URL, choose an article at random, (right now I am on Mr Language
Person on nitches, yores, and defective sealion), and resize the window -- the
left frame will likely remain the dull-grey -- dragging the mouse to select text
will cause the selected text to be drawn.

I am using XFree86 3.3.5 on an ATI Xpert@work.

HTH... thanks
