I'm started a fresh web project at http://www.earn4euro.de/start.html.
Below the top frame which contains rotating banners, there's a small frame
containing a newsticker scroller.
I've noticed that the newsticker text begins to scroll normally but then
suddenly interrupts it and doesn't restart it (see This Frame -> View Frame
Source so see the text that should normally scroll).
I've tested this only with Mozilla 1.7.8 so far...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL: http://www.earn4euro.de/start.html
2. Look at the newsticker below the top banner and look where it interrupts (it
never scrolled the whole text on my attempts).
3. Right-click the newsticker frame, select "This Frame" and then "View Frame
Source" and compare the text between the <marquee>-tags with the actual
scrolling output of Mozilla...

Actual Results:  
Interrupts the scrolling marquee text at a random position (seems to depend
somewhat on the contents)...

Expected Results:  
Show and scroll the whole marquee text...

The problem appears with the classic Mozilla 1.7.8 theme...didn't test it with
Modern, but I guess anyway, it's a problem with the Gecko engine.
