243707 - sometimes, pages show blank page for a moment before showing the real page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 242856

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

so, this does happen in 2004051409 (winxp)
it did not happen in a build from may 01, unfortunately I don't have an hour handy

seen on lxr.m.o/mozilla, as well as view page source

What happens is: The page seems to start loading correctly (hard to tell, this
is only for a very short time), then the screen, at least the upper part of it,
becomes blank (filled with default background color) for about a second, then
the real content is shown.

In the LXR case, one (of the three) search buttons showed while the page was
blank otherwise.

reproducable: sometimes...
