In camino 2005052308 (v0.8+); There's a UI glitch when loading a page (see
forthcoming attached image).

I'm running 10.3.9 at the moment.

This is what happens when some java or flash objects are loaded. This looks very
much like the old bug we had where plugin onject would paint over the status
bar, as it still draws over the entire status bar and not just the progress bar.

I just saw this (a larger area painted over, actually) when I had a tab trying
to connect to an FTP site that was never connecting (just "Loading..." in the
status bar, no error msg or timeout or sheet or error page).

Visiting Bugzilla and getting it to paint the lock and successfully load the
page (completed progress bar) repainted those areas, but the surrounding areas
that were blanked out still remain.

Dunno if we can get this for 1.0 or not, but at least giving it a target to play
with; I find this as annoying as the the download status in the status bar (bug
293350) which Josh wants for 1.0.

I also get an incompletely redrawn area/page bleed around the area where the
pop-up blocker displays (even if no popup is present).

Tweaking summary a bit....

Possibly related issue: when going to 

http://www.nfl.com/redir?url=3844

the top portion of the browser window (directly above the RealPlayer content),
including the bookmarks bar, location bar, and toolbar, gets painted in white.

Is this a separate bug, or is this the same problem manifesting itself differently?

Since we don't know why plugins are doing this yet, moving off.

Could we get some STR and/or a test URL here? I'm not sure how to try to repro this to see if it's still happening in trunk.

FWIW, I used to see this with reasonable frequency, but I haven't seen it in quite some time on branch.

STR were something like:

1) View a full-page plug-in, or a full-width plug-in taller than the current windows, or a full-width plugin on a page where you can scroll the plug-in up/down across the status bar.
2) Watch full-page plug-in bleed into status bar on load, or scroll the page with full-width plugin up/down and watch it bleed.

PDF Browser Plug-in, QuickTime, and the PangeaVR plug-in (http://www.pangeasoft.net/pano/plugin/pangeavr.html) were common culprits.

However, I think it's reasonable to close this WFM, and if anyone sees it again, they can reopen.  I can't repro on the dupe URLs or a number of Pangea VR images I just checked.
