296354 - DHTML Regression (Flickering elements in viewport since 1.0.4)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Slater]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When moving the cursor over the menu in the linked page, the elements in the
center column will flicker over the menu.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to page
2. Move mouse over menu
3. Behold the flickering madness

Actual Results:  
Elements of the center column reposition themselves over the menu in the left column

Expected Results:  
Executed the Javascript that changes the menu background, not reposition the
contents of the center column

This seems to be a regression from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4, as it did NOT happen before
1.0.4, and whilst I'm not the greatest writer of Javascripts, I doubt it can
have anything to do with that. IE, other browsers and Firefox versions older
than 1.0.4 do not exhibit this behaviour.

Probably a dup of something FIXED.  Check bugs with float: left.

I see flickering with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8)
Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
I do not see flickering with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US;
rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050603 Firefox/1.0+ ID:2005060302

Reporter, are you sure the flickering was not present in firefox 1.03?
