276458 - jerky pages with float:left, overflow:auto, and font-weight:bold in :hover

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 238493

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Simon Dahlbacka]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

the floated div jerks up and quickly after returns to the correct position, when
hovering the menu. See attached example. the example uses dTree script from
http://www.destroydrop.com/javascripts/tree/

This visual "effect" is rather annoying

If I comment out either float:left or overflow:auto in the #navBar, or comment
out the font-weight:bold; in :hover the problem seems to disappear.


Reproducible: Always

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

I'm not seeing the bug when I hover over the menu in that testcase.
However, when I resize the window I get to see the 'jerky' effect in Mozilla.

This is already fixed in recent nightly trunk 1.8a builds of Mozilla. (fixed by
bug 238493).
