User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

The flash element on the page is set to 700x500px, and will sometimes (on
reload/visit) resize to a much smaller size without any provocation.  IE does
not replicate, and the parameters are set within the flash element, and in the
HTML file.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit site
2.Refresh multiple times
3.Keep trying if not seen.  Happens 3/5 or so.

Actual Results:  
See the flash movie much smaller than 700x500px.

Expected Results:  
Displayed the element in the correct stated pixel value.

Is this also a problem with current nightly trunk builds?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
