The motley fool web site @ www.fool.com renders displaced (as shown in attached
screenshot). It happens about 1/5 times. If it doesn't happen I can keep hitting
refresh or the home link at the top and it will show like this. I have tried
using 0.7 and the latest nightly releases. I have also tried clearing my cache
and setting the cache to a set amount and to not cache at all (by setting cache
limit to 0 mb.)

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto motley fool web site (http://www.fool.com)
2. If shows properly keep hitting the "home" link until it shows displaced
3.

Actual Results:  
It renders improperly.

Expected Results:  
Render properly.

Seems to be working in the latest firebird 0.8 release I'm using for both web sites.

gecko : 200401014

unless someone else can make it work in a recent release should close bug.

I wonder if it was a html error in the html pages or a rendering bug in the
gecko engine?

Both web sites I visit regularly both seemed to "fix" themselves at the same
time so I'm leaning towards a gecko engine bug that got fixed in the trunk.
