when looking for products (it's a commercial site) sometimes the list is
partially hidden, like if it needed for a scroll bar.

for example, try this page
http://www.gamestart.it/negozio/listaps2.asp?query=gen=13%20and%20piat=7&piat=7

I guess it might be a macromedia plugin bad implementation

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to www.gamestart.it
2.select playstation 2
3.Select "tutti" from menu bar on the left side

Actual Results:  
product list appears almost correct while downloading the page, then partially
disappear (the centrre frame is bad)

Expected Results:  
what internet explorer does: list appears centered and no products are hidden

Attachment: minimal testcase

Testcase showing the actual problem, I'll go through and update all the other
fields...

This has nothing to do with frames, the actual problem is that inside a table
cell, any content before a <table height='100%'> is being pushed out off the top
of the table cell.

Someone please fix the summary for me, I couldn't think of a good way to phrase
it at 1 AM...

And no, I have no idea at all if this is a dupe or invalid or anything, I only
testcased it.

Confirming.  Happens in both quirks and standards mode...  Oddly, the overflow
is NOT painted.  :(

I think I did fix this thing, please reopen if you still see this with a recent
nightly or 1.8.4a.
