www.iqexchange.com is one of my projects. I use only HTML tables and no
javascript or plugins.
If you refresh the browser 5 to 10 times on that page, you will see that the
table  cell sizes render differently upon some of the refresh results.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to www.iqexchange.com
2. look at page, then refresh
3. keep refreshing, within 10 attempts you should see that the table cells are
rendered with slightly different widths sometimes

Actual Results:  
sometimes cell widths are rendered differently.

Expected Results:  
cell widths should always be rendered the same for a page with static content

Confirming on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6b)
Gecko/20031206 Firebird/0.7+. It works on Seamonkey 2003120606, which is very
odd for this kind of bug.

It may be affected by memory usage.
When I reported the bug I had this page opened on another tab

www.jasonpan.com/china/

By having that page open on one tab and trying the reloading of the
iqexchange.com page on another, you should see the strange behavior on
iqexchange mor easily.

I've rebooted since filing the bug, and it looks like, without heavy memory
usage, it takes about 10 to 20 trys before you can see the strange rendering
behavior.

this is layout, not Firebird

Mike, are you actually seeing this in Seamonkey? I only see it on Firebird.

The page at the provided URL is not exactly an ideal testcase: 26 css rules, 65
css declarations and definately a complex table structure.
There are 69 occurences of
<td class="listItem">&nbsp;</td>
in a complex table layout. And the layout problem is supposed to be happening
after "10 refresh" and to cause "slightly different widths sometimes"

In any case, I can't reproduce the layout problem with Seamonkey 1.0a rv: 1.8b4
build 2005080205 nor with Deer Park alpha 2 rv: 1.8b3 build 20050712 under XP
Pro SP2.

I'm resolving this bug as WORKSFORME. In any case, if one wishes to reopen this
bug, one should consider bug 275345 which has testcases.
