Hi,

Sometimes when i visit my own site (http://www.arcnet.nl). The bullit-images of
the <UL> lists render incorrectly. Instead of the nice orange-squares .. i see
big black ugly circles which look like 'ink-drops'. Refreshing the page solves
it. But it happens at random moments again. 

In the CSS style sheet of that website .. i use :
-------------------------------------------------
ul {
	list-style-image: url(../images/bullet.png);
}
-------------------------------------------------

The problem is not happening in Internet Explorer (but i hate that 'old'
browser), so i guess it has to do something with the Firefox rendering or cache
issues ?

With regards,

Sander van Boxtel.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to website, www.arcnet.nl  
2. And sometimes it happens.

Reload page more than 10 times, squares look good.

U might wanna try with a nighly trunk build and see if the problem goes away:

Checked again .. and i really think it's some kind of a rendering bug. 
I'm developing another site now .. and encounter the same problem with the
'list-style-image' CSS property (within a 'li' item). 

http://sander.intranetwork.nl/html/impact.php

In the middle section there is an unordered list. When you close Firefox .. open
it again .. and go to that page, the list-style-images sometimes not appear.
(Try repeating it for a couple of times for instance. 
The 'inkt drop' problem can be solved by setting 'list-style-type' to 'none' ...
but THEN the result is, as told here, that nothing appears sometimes.

This is a baffling occurance.

Take a look at this site where the tiny blue cross has been used for what looks
like a style image replacement of a <ul> bullet.

http://www.transfieldservices.com/employment_current_vacancies.htm

You are looking for the first line of the list for every instance of an
unordered list.
The bullet is a tiny blue cross which actually appears to be rendered on the
line above the text, and then a larger line break appears after that.
After viewing the source, I found that what's baffling about this is the fact
that this is not a <ul> at all, but a simple <td> for the <img>, and then <td>
for the line of text.
This only caught my eye because I have had similar results under Firefox when
applying CSS to use an image for a <ul> bullets. 

There is no class associated with the <table>,<tr>, or <td> tags, and the only
linked CSS re-definition I could find is: 

TD {FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 11px; COLOR: #000000; LINE-HEIGHT: 18px;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;}

I Thought you might be able to use this kind of feedback, and example.

I am using Firefox version 1.0, on Windoxs XP, and:
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107
Firefox/1.0" 
appears in the "About" page.
