296326 - scrollbar get buried under ad & becomes non-functional

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[d.schaft]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When displaying http://www.spiegel.de/, the right hand scrollbar of the browser
window gets buried underneath the ads on the page (depending on window
dimension, which obviously depend on screen dimensions...). The scroll bar
"arrows" become unfunctional, yet sometimes it is possible to drag the scroll
indicator directly to move tthrough the page. Often navigating through the page
becomes impossible. Opening links in tabs does work, and the scrollbar
occasionally works within the tabs, but the whole browser often stalls switching
between these tabs. currently it makes using firefox vs. Safari very unpleasant. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open http://www.spiegel.de/
2.resize browser window
3.

Actual Results:  
right scroll bar gets buried underneath right advertisment column

Expected Results:  
fully show scroll bar

I'm not experiencing anything like that. Could you produce a screenshot of what
you're talking about?

Reproducible with Mozilla 1.8b1 and 1.8b2/20050601 but wfm with Deer Park a1,
the visible part of the vertical scrollbar under the ad still works for me. The
horizontal scrollbar is missing when the window is made narrower than the ad but
wider than the content (see the first screenshot), this is reproducible with all
three browsers.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

spiegel.de has changed a bunch since this was filed and I can't reproduce on that site.

Can anyone still reproduce this using Firefox 2.0.0.3 and a clean profile? If so, please provide a link to a site this reproduces on.
