Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 228059

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Roger Riche]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050221 Firefox/1.0 (Ubuntu) (Ubuntu package 1.0+dfsg.1-6ubuntu1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050221 Firefox/1.0 (Ubuntu) (Ubuntu package 1.0+dfsg.1-6ubuntu1)

In the test example provided in the url, The scrolling div and iframe do wierd
flickering and/or jumping on load of the page.  This is caused by a container
that is floated without a width which contains a script tag that sources for the
javascript.

If the float is given a width, the boxes no longer flicker.  If the script tag
does not source, they don't flicker.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Float an element without a Width and include a script tag that sources
javascript.  (ie./ <script src="http://somedomain.com/js/somescript.js">
2.  Put boxes with overflow: auto in floated elements. 
3.  Refresh the page and you will see jumping and flickering around these boxes

Actual Results:  
Jumping and Flickering of the overflow: auto elements.

Expected Results:  
Loaded the overflow: auto elements without any jumping or flickering

I don't see the problem you describe, although with Firefox 1.02 I do.
Perhaps the same kind of problem that caused www.gamespot.com to flicker whilst
rendering. But with the latest nightly build this is fixed.
