Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

The website gradually opens a page using setinterval ..

The time it takes to open the page varies with Firefox. Setting the timer to
more than 50ms seems to help, but then the scrolling increment make the
animation 'jerky'.

It works correctly in IE with a 10ms timer and I get a smooth window transition,
as planned.

By the way I think Firefox is a greay browser !
       Keep up the good work ...



  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the uri .. 
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
Curtain opening in a series of jumps instead of smoothly. Uping the timer
interval and lowering the open increment / timer hit does not help ..


 I'm sure it's a setinterval problem.

On my slow work computer the animation is faster and smoother that IE6. --> wfm

Please reopen if you can reproduce with a nightly trunk build. 1.0.3 is using a
1 year old layout engine

Apologies, ..
