Occasionally when viewing the front page, or comment pages of slashdot.org I see
various types of misrendering of the page - with objects rendered over other
objects.  The problem is intermittent, often reloading the exact same page will
cause it to be rendered properly.  I will attach two screenshots demonstrating
the two main types of misrendering that I see.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://slashdot.org/ or any of its comment pages
Actual Results:  
Occasionally the page was rendered incorrectly.  Reloading generally fixes the
problem.

Expected Results:  
Rendered the page correctly.

That bug is fixed on the trunk, but not yet fixed on the branches (because the
fix caused a regression: bug 246382), so it still happens in Mozilla 1.7 and
Firefox 0.9.
