Details

When I first bring up the history window (using M13), I see a menubar, a title bar which contains "Title | URL | Last Visited" and then I see a white area below the title bar where the actual history is displayed. Below the white area is a gray bar at the bottom of the window. The problem is that the bottom most entry in the history list is displayed partially in the white area, and partially in the gray bottom area. As soon as I scroll the history list, the original portion of text in the gray area is left as a "****" and it runs into the new text of a different entry after I have moved the scroll bar. The result is illegible. Perhaps the cause of this is my display configuration, which is Windows NT at 1280x1024, using large fonts.
what you are seeing is a valid error. There is a tree clipping bug that is causing the problem. The regression was knowingly introduced as a temporary trade-off for a critical fix to another bug. So there is an old bug floating arund that either needs to be reopened or was recently reopened that this is a dupe of. Now I just have to find that bug...
Steve, is this our bug or more noise for hyatt?

Target Milestone: M14
In 2000031609 release of Mozilla, I noticed that it scrolls just fine. But, it shows that grey part at the bottom, with a permanent, and fixed URL. I can't tell where it got that URL from. This maybe intentional, or it maybe a bug. I can't totally tell. But, I can scroll history without distortion.
so like I said on 1/31 this is really a bug about trees not clipping their views properly. The bug I was looking is gone but Bug 28244 is currently tracking the issue. All follow up or additional places where this error creeps up should be noted there. Closing as a dupe. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 28244 ***
