In Firefox 1.04 and the latest Alpha of Deer Park, the page refrenced above
shows up with the Div boxes layed out very unusually.  As soon as you refresh
the page, the all of the divs show up correctly.

Note: Only some of the div areas with the product listings do it. Sometimes the
top ones, sometimes further down. After refresh, the page is always laid out
exactly as it should be.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Laod page. Note overlapping text and borders that are grouped together while
the divs that the borders are for are in the right spot.
2. Refresh the page and note that everything is laid out the way it's supposed
to.  Deer Park Alpha is even worse than 1.04 for this

Actual Results:  
The borders of the divs are on overlapping on on top of eachother while the divs
that the borders are attached to are inthe right spot.

After refresh the page is perfect.

There is no javascript being executed. (I disabled all of the javascript on the
page and got the same results)

Expected Results:  
Should layout properly the first time, not after refresh.

WFM. After a reload the site looks the same. Have you tried it with a clean
profile? However W3C has some remarks:

The errors that the validator are giving are all ASP.net related and have
nothing to do with the problem.

I tried it in a clean profile and it still happens.

VERY occassionally it will display correctly the first time, but not often.

Can you please attach a screenshot of the issue? Or even better a small testcase.

This is a screen grab of the problem.

If I hit Refresh now, the page will display correctly.

Can you reproduce this with a trunk build?

Yes. Just downloaded it and on first visit to that page, it still does it. 
(about half-way down the page)  (The same code draws all of the boxes, so
there's nothing special about the one that is screwy. And the last one is also
screwy too)

Seems fixed by reflow branch landing
