27533 - Drag-selecting/highlighting text in mozilla browser causes the text to shift.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[jjamp]

Although not limited to this page, it's easily reproduced here. duplicated page 
at http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~jjamp/rpgamer.html  

Using:
Win98se
M13 with full circle installed unzipped from the provided zip package

Drag-selecting/highlighting text in mozilla browser causes the text to shift.

1) goto either http://www.rpgamer.com/ or 
http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~jjamp/rpgamer.html  

2) put mouse over the '64' in the "Nintendo 64", and click-drag the mouse and 
hightlight upwards to the "Aidyn Chronicals" link.

3) repeat this quickly to see effect more clearly. Don't go past/above the link, 
or below the 64, otherwise it may be harder to see.

The text should not be moving or shifting. The drag-selecting text works most of 
the time.

Odd. Yes, selection, shouldn't cause any reflows

ok i will take a look at this but I can almost gaurantee that no reflowing is 
happening on my side.  I am causing some invalidates on those frames but that 
should be it. only thing i can think of is that when I am redrawing them some 
state is messed up.  i will investigate.
