Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[John Wyles]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050718 Firefox/1.0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050718 Firefox/1.0.5

Whenever I load up the large table show Firefox and NS7 in Solaris will show
vertical black bars over the table.  In Linux it is not as bad and the text
under the table is still readable.  The table validates and has proper tagging.

It seems to be a rendering problem because highlighting the text will take away
some of the black bars over the text to where it is readable and some times it
will not.  Scrolling effects this as well and the bars will either disappear or
move to another location above or below on the table.

I should also note the tables are formatted with a CSS style sheet.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the page
2. Scroll down or up until they are seen
3.

Actual Results:  
Vertical black bars appeared

Expected Results:  
No vertical black bars

Attachment: The black bar down the 16S area is intentional. Please do not let this confuse, it's presence was added for design after this bug appeared and has nothing to do with it whatsoever.

The above page produces even greater rendering problems on the Solaris platform
with Firefox and NS7.

I just tested the nightly build today (8/1/2005) and this problem still exists...

I have narrowed down that this seems to be a problem with the
style=\"border-style: dotted;\" css attribute.

Comment 8

I have narrowed down that this seems to be a problem with the
style=\"border-style: dotted;\" or style=\"border-style: dashed;\" css attribute.
