279148 - Site looks different when reloaded even if source code didn't change

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Thomas Theiner]

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

This page often looks wrong in Firefox. Other browsers including Mozilla 1.7
display it correctly. I reproduced this error on different platforms using
Firefox 1.0 through reloading again and again (waiting for completion every
time). As far as I can see the source code doesn't change when reloading.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Calling the site ... sometimes it looks right sometimes not
2.If it looks right (the two paragraphs above the form fields should extend to
below the picture) reload the page
3.Reload it until the two paragraphs show only about 3 centimeters in width.
This is false. It doesn't matter whether you use just reload or shift reload.

Actual Results:  
The page looks different.

Expected Results:  
The two paragraphs should have extended to a width below the shown picture.

Reload more than 10 times, always the same result. Whatever it was it might have
been fixed.

Reporter, still an issue with latest trunk build?

Message from Reporter: Without knowing what a trunk build is ...

I recently downloaded 1.0.3 and installed it. It's still the same with that version.

This is fixed on trunk, meaning that this fix will be available in Firefox 1.1

You can always try trunk build, though they can be unstable sometimes, to verify
that this is fixed
