287859 - Clicking on a link moves it, and does not follow it

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[José Jeria]

Build: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050325
Firefox/1.0+

Clicking on the links on this page, makes them move, and the link is not
followed. Try out the different links on the testcase and see how text moves. At
first this sounds like Bug 279761, but that one is WFM, at least the testcase.

Steps to reproduce:
1. load testcase
2. click on the different links and see them move

[Stephen Donner [:stephend] Not actively reading bugmail]

To be clear: for me, with build 2005-03-26-05 Seamonkey trunk on Windows XP, the
link /is/ followed, but it takes 2 clicks: the 1st to do the reflow and the 2nd
to actually follow the link.  I see that on
http://www.steelgryphon.com/blog/?p=44, specifically, since the anchors in your
testcase here are empty.

Bug 240276 probably fixed this, marking dependent & WFM
