Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[John Sullivan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

After downloading and implementing a new theme/skin for WinXP from my
manufacturer Alienware, on certain websites, including "Firefox Central"
(sometimes) the screen starts shaking up and down, like a vertical control
problem on a TV (not rolling, just shaking up and down). I do not have the same
problem with IE 6.0. It seems to be only on pages with javascript things going
on. Simpler pages do not appear to be affected. Here is the page for downloading
the skin: http://www.alienware.com/Standalone_Pages/darkstar.aspx?source=1280

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download and implement skin
2.Go to http://www.drudgereport.com (or other complicated webpage)
3.

Actual Results:  
Screen was shaking up and down, like loss of vertical control on a TV.

Expected Results:  
Viewed page without shaking.

I have not had this problem with Firefox while using the default theme.
