Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 217527

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

In many pages on Slashdot's website (http://slashdot.org), the center column
frequently overlaps the left column.  Sometimes, clicking "reload" will fix the
problem for that page view.  Other times, it will still overlap, but by a
different amount.

Someone reported this in Slashdot's tracker, but the slashdot editors believe it
to be a Mozilla bug.
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1030766&group_id=4421&atid=104421)

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
Being logged into my Slashdot account makes the problem worse, but not being
logged in does not eliminate the problem.

Logged in or not, every page view appears to have a chance of being displayed
correctly.

This is fixed on the trunk, but not on the aviary branch.
