218504 - Layout displayed different on Mozilla / Windows and Mozilla / Linux. Windows version looks similar to IE on Windows.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 143934

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

Description

[Timothy Stewart]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827

This page on Mozilla / Windows and on IE shows the login prompt. When clicked,
the "Accessing Account" animation appears.  On Linux, both the login and
accessing animation appear at the same time.  Login is impossible.  This might
be a problem with the page developer not adhering to standards, but I found it
strange that Mozilla behaved differently between the Windows and Linux platforms.

I will file a bug with Compass bank as well, but my guess is they will list
Linux/Mozilla as an unsupported browser.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Using Windows, go to URL.  Type any username and password (does not need to be
valid).  Observe behaviour.
2.Using Linux / Mozilla go to URL.  Note difference in page presentation. 
Typing username/password does nothing.

Actual Results:  
Linux browser unable to continue past this page.  Windows browser (Mozilla)
works fine.

Expected Results:  
I don't know which behviour is the "correct" behaviour.  I simply noticed that
Windows Mozilla and Linux Mozilla treated the same page differently and thought
someone might want to see if this is a bug in the rendering or is the fault of
the page author.
