Reproducible: Always

I see the problem with linux (suite) 1.7.5, but trunk looks ok.
Can you try a trunk firefox build (a nightly) or Mozilla 1.8b1?

Comment 2

[Kevin Brice]

I guess I put it under the wrong version in the bug reporting page.  I can't
really try a trunk version of Firefox or 1.8b1 because I found this problem on a
school computer and do not really want to mess with my main configuration by
putting on a nightly.  (I've heard that some people have had their browser
completely messed up by installing a nightly.)  If somebody already has a
nightly installed, maybe they could try it out.

I did.  It looked ok although I was able to see the problem you described with
1.7.5.  I'll resolve this as WORKSFORME for now.  If you get a chance to try a
new build later and can still reproduce the problem at the URL, please reopen.

I just got the release candidate for 1.0.2 and the problem still exists. 
MozillaZine does not fit properly on the page until a refresh.  However, some
pages on MozillaZine, such as
http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=6250 , load properly the first
time.

1.0.2 and 1.0.1 basically use the same layout engine... please reopen if this is
reproducible in a build using a 1.8b-something Gecko.

I'm still having the problem with 1.0.3.  Is it again the case where Gecko
wasn't updated enough to fix it?
