URL of Bug 203011 was showing the bug only part-time, with a special ad, until mid of April. http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203011#c10 When bug was seen, there were two flash ads on the page. 1.3.1 was showing both correctly, i.e. noshowing when menu was open. 1.4.a was showing both above the menu. 1.4 and trunk was showing upper ad correctly, i.e. noshow if menue open, lower ad above menue. Screenshots in that bug 203011

confirming Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030903 tested on 1.3.1, 1.4 and trunk. The menus to the right, i.e. tennis, more, fantasies and scores are not showing this bug.

As the other attachments are rather big, about 175 kb, here a small one, 37 kb, showing only the relevant part, bug seen in Soccer menu, Mozilla BuildID 2003090204 I´ve also got one, 27 kb, showing the good menu of More Sports. I´ve seen this bug also with Opera 7.20b8 and Opera 7.20b7 (betas) on Win98SE and Win98.
Does this bug depend on screen resolution ? I have the same blocking effect on the whole top menu level including more sports, fantasy etc to the right side. The flash section on my screen stretches the whole width of the top menu. 1072X768 screen size.
The bug seems to be unrelated to screen resolution. I am unable to get the drop down menus to come above the flash menu even on the right side of the screen in ref to comment #3 and #7. The whole top menu is mangled.

re comment 3 and comment 7: Screen size has been 800x600, on different hardware running win98 and win98SE resp.

The difference I believe is that the MORE SPORTS banner is not a flash enabled menu as the other banners are. I shows up as a simple image link tag. The other banners have the original dropdown menu list as clickable links + a serch option. In addition the when you get far enough to the right the flash enabled madden ad does the same thing to the dropdown menu as the flash enabled banner. It appears that the plugin is rendered in the foreground and the html in the background. It should be the other way around.

A simplified testcase or an accurate date of regression would be useful. (In fact, I'd prefer if layout bugs weren't confirmed without one or the other.)

testcase MLB, needs flash, is working offline: unzip into a directory, start MLB.html

Saw bug 203011 today: Menu 'More Sports', hovering over 'Tennis', and submenu was hidden by a flash ad below. The ads at this place are changing, mostly are gifs, sometimes flash. If there is a gif ad, all is working normally. If there is a flash ad, the submenu is under the ad. This can´t be seen in the testcase, as it ends below the menu bar.

The problem is that the code for the flash banner is different for IE and Mozilla. In IE it has the parameter wmode set to transparent, but it lacks such attribute for mozilla. Changing line 174 in the 33Kb Zip testcase MLB to document.write('<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" WIDTH="770" HEIGHT="60"><param name="WMode" value="Transparent"><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="'+MM_flashLocation+'"><PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high"><PARAM NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="#FFFFFF"><EMBED src="'+MM_flashLocation+'" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" WIDTH="770" HEIGHT="60" NAME="myMovieName" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent"></EMBED></OBJECT>'); makes it work. -> evangelism.
