Actual Results:  
the foreignObject java banner "hello world" is on top.
the foreignObject html is on the bottom, and correctly under the svg rect

sorry not to provide an attachment, not sure it's possible in this instance and
couldn't figure how to produce it. :-(

Is the applet in question running in windowless mode?  Otherwise, it's painting
itself, outside of the Mozilla rendering pipeline, and we can't affect where it
appears.

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.

I can't help that no one is working on this bug

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

We can't help the fact that you never answered the question I asked in comment 1.

Marking invalid; please reopen when you do answer that question.

I will discontinue bug reporting if I continue to get this type of rude response.

I'm also busy too.

Comment 6

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

I see nothing rude about requesting more information from you about a java
applet  you presumably wrote (since you have the source, and I don't).
