271450 - Text/Table distorted/slanted by context menu

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[hopeful.maverick]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-2)

text in part of a table gets distorted by the context menu if the user does not
select one of the options, but instead clicks on a 'blank' part of the page that
is not a url. If you refresh the page or put focus on any other application the
page is no longer distorted. I've tried this out on tonights build and I can
still reproduce the problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.atda31.dsl.pipex.com/test.html
2. right click on "Test" LINK on the top-left (without doing anything else yet)
3. left click anywhere on the background of the page
4. The "|" and bottom right corner of the top border should be distorted
Actual Results:  
Distortion

Firefox/0.9.1+)

Could you retry with a nightly build available here
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk

Also this bug should not be placed in Firefox->Website (that's for
mozilla.org/products/firefox)

ah ok, seemed to imply "firefox problem with a website" to me..
I just grabbed firefox-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz
I can still reproduce the problem 
Just attached the original screenshot (which i forgot before)

Could you attach an even more limited testcase to the bug instead of one on a
server? Or are the colors really needed for the bug to appear? Make the testcase
as limited as possible.

Could you be more specific about your window manager and skins.

And to confirm:
1. Open page
2. Right click on the first (most left) link
3. Click _anywhere_ except the menu

Attachment: html with bug

looks like "table {margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;}"
is where the problem is, if i use the shorthand of "table {margin: auto;}" I
can no longer reproduce the problem

I'm using XFCE4 and XFree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1 under Debian, for firefox i'm using the
LO-FI theme

Attachment: Improved testcase

"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" is not the same as "margin:auto"

Attached improved testcase with different setups and correct HTML 4.01 strict.
How are your results with this one. WFM still.

Attachment: missing curly braces for table 3

table 1 and 2 still work for me.
table 3 (in both attachments) do not work for me any more, nor does my old
attachment, weird. all I've done is upgrade the package build, it's now
1.0'-3', 
I'll try it out on the latest trunk again later on, must jet for now.

Comment 9

[hopeful.maverick]

OK, for the latest trunk only table 3 works (in both attachments), my original
attachment is working too

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
