I'm surprised that I couldn't find an exisiting bug for this one. I probably
just missed it.

Anyway, if you resize the window while viewing www.mozilla.org, the tables do
not resize correctly, and instead leave a blank area between the link list on
the left, and the middle area box (with the news in it.)
Works fine for me on NT with latest build. Re-assigning to Kevin to see if the 
problem is Linux specific (we seem to have a lot of Linux specific problems 
lately)

Ah ha! Far more tricky than I thought it was...

This bug is only triggered when the page incrementally reflows a couple of times
during page load. That's why hitting reload fixed it. When I turned off the
memory cache, forceing it to pull the page through the modem again, and hit
reload, the bug reappeared. Also, now that I look at it, the page renders
incorrectly to begin with. (The window resize just makes it look worse)
It renders correctly if it only lays-out once (as it does when it is in the
cache.)

I think you'll have to have a low speed connection to see it happen. For the
record, I see it reflow three times while it loads.

CCign back to troy@netscape.com, since this information might be useful.

Tried with todays build and I was not able to reproduce the problem. This bug 
was probably fixed along with some general update issues on Linux. Marking as 
worksforme.
