237703 - Placement of java-applet driven graphs wrong: overlaps text and each other, and appears in other tabs

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 162134

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Gavin Lawrie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040311 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040311 Firefox/0.8.0+

The (vintage) stats service for a web site I am associated uses two java applet
graphs to display statistics about activity on the site.  These two graphs are
each drawn correctly when the service is accessed using Mozilla Firefox, but the
placement of the graphs is wrong: the error varies but includes overlapping of
text and of each other, and sometimes they also appear on other tabs open in the
same browser.  None of these problems appear when service is accessed using
Safari or IE on Mac, or IE on Windows.  Similar problems did appear on Windows
XP - but not used a Windows machine recently so can't confirm this still case.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the statistics service site (sorry can't give access details - but see
pictures of outputs links below)
2. Review any page with Java-Applet graphs
3. See rendering errors

Actual Results:  
You can see screen-shots of the failing rendering here:

Expected Results:  
You can see screen-shots of the page rendered correctly in Safari here:

Some extra info - the overlapping appears to be linked to moving down the page
using block moves (e.g. clicking below vertical scroll bar element to go down
page in pages) rather than using line moves (e.g. clicking on 'down' arrow at
bottom of scroll bar).

appearing on other tabs issue is a dup of Bug 162134.
