Details

Step to reproduce: Go to to Mozilla home page. Go to Edit > Preferences and click on Navigator on the left hand side. Delete a letter from the current homepage location and click OK. The Mozilla page will now have lots of strange boxes around it but a refresh seems to clear everything up. Build ID: 2000012008 Linux
Wish I could remember the word the first reporter of this bug used to describe it. This is a DUP for certain, though. It occurs in conjunction with bug 7862, "When prefs window is left, focus switches to other app", M15. You don't actually need to do anything in the Prefs, just leave them again, to trigger both bugs. Quoting from bug 17617, "Changing Prefs breaks frameset", DUP: >----- Additional Comments From cpratt@netscape.com 1999-11-01 08:39 ----- >There are two bugs in Bugzilla that cover the two parts of this bug report; >this is a duplicate of both of them. One was a DUP of bug 7862, the other described this display problem, clearly visible on the Mozilla homepage, described in bug 17617 as "Part (2)". For now, marking as a DUP of bug 17617; cpratt@netscape.com, if it leaps out at you, change it to the proper bug number, otherwise, this one's not worth the effort, since there is bug for this problem already. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 17617 ***
