User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040722 Galeon/1.3.16 (Debian package 1.3.16-1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040722 Galeon/1.3.16 (Debian package 1.3.16-1)

It happens sometimes and reload always fixes problem.
It happens when clicking 'read more' on ./ frontpage.

I'll attacha a screenshot showing the problem. It's galeon, but
I think I've seen this with firefox too. And nevertheless this
should be rendering engine's problem.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
Just try to open different stories from frontpage. Sometimes it happens.
Actual Results:  
comment tables are at wrong place (covering left menu).

Expected Results:  
As it's displayed most of the time.

Ah, found that when the galeon window is about ~ 440px-510px wide (with
scrollbars and window border) it misrenders the page even after reloading. This
range also seems to depend on the font size used. Here it is 9 points (with 10
points the range seems to be ~ 440-500px) and the X DisplaySize is set to
315x235 mm if that counts.

duplicate of bug 217527?

Comment 4

[Markus Lindström]

I'm just wondering, are Galeon bugs supposed to be reported here? Shouldn't this
be filed on the relevant Sourceforge bug tracker?

Anyway, yes I believe this is a duplicate of bug 217527.

-> RESOLVED/DUPLICATE or INVALID?

Hmmm, couldn't find that bugreport earlier. Yes, this seems to be duplicate.

About galeon: this seems to be rendering problem and so not galeon's fault?
