294318 - Google results pages are mostly blank until you scroll

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 294335

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[John Sawyer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050515 Camino/0.8+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050515 Camino/0.8+

When doing Google searches, often the results page comes up mostly blank.  If
you scroll the window, the results list will appear; also, if you pull down
menus, bits of the Google results list will begin to appear in the areas where
the menus were drawn.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.google.com
2. Do a search for anything (I found "pancreas transplants" often displayed the
problem)
3. See the results window mostly blank; click on a menu bar item that extends
into the white space to see bits of the window begin to appear, or scroll the
window to see the whole window redraw properly.

Actual Results:  
Google search results window mostly blank

Expected Results:  
Should have shown a proper listing of Google search results

I can't repro this, but it does sound a lot like the so-called "scrambling bug"
that has been affecting layout in Camino (doing something that forces a redraw
fixes "scrambled" parts of pages).

The "scrambling bug" is also not reproducible consistently....

Was just about to post the same thing.  I've been getting this in the nightlies
since April, which was when it started getting noticeably worse.

Attachment: Screenshot showing the blank result.

I can reproduce this consitently (using Version 2005051014 (0.8+) on Tiger). 
Attached is a screenshot showing the blank results; after scrolling the page
redraws normally.
