Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 283959

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050701

When doing image searching with images.google.com (also seen on A9.com and
elsewhere), when opening an image link in a new tab in the background, the
resulting frameset does not paint properly. The first time you view that tab,
the top frame, which is from Google, shows bleed-through from whatever frame you
were last in. The bottom frame, which is from the originating site, shows properly. 

When you click back to another tab and then click into the problem tab, the top
frame is then painted properly. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.search for an image on images.google.com
2.command-click on a resulting image to open the "Google Image Result" frameset
in a background tab
3. Watch the top of your screen. 
Actual Results:  
When you click into the new tab, the top of the display window shows the pixels
from the previous tab being viewed, while the bottom part of the display window
shows (correctly) the source site of the image you're viewing.

Expected Results:  
Top frame should have shown the Google image information, "see full-size image"
and so on.

The workaround is ok, but the problem is very ugly. 

I can provide screen shots on request.
