24744 - regression from 1/12: timer with sliding font is failing, showing white screen

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[ekrock's old account (dead)]

Commercial 2000012008 on WinNT 4.0 SP3.

To repro: open URL. Lightning bolt image flashes. Then Netscape N logo appears.

Expected: Next, "Netscape Communications" text appears below N logo, spacing 
between letters gradually increases, and then screen fades to black.

Actual: Next, screen goes white. "Netscape Communications" text never appears.

Note that this is a regression from Commercial 2000011210 on WinNT 4.0 SP3 in 
which the same page works as expected.

Temporarily assigning to myself as placeholder; Marcio will reassign to self and 
simplify. Tentatively designating DOM2 as component.

Marcio, could you please analyze this, narrow down what is failing to a 
simplified test case, and reassign the bug to the appropriate component? vidur 
if it's a DOM2 issue; default owner for JavaScript Engine if it's a timer issue. 
Thanks!

Reassigning to Vidur, and adding Marcio to cc: list for simplification down to 
test case.

Tested and it's working fine with NT4 SP5.
