305446 - Scroll button working slowly on fixed background >> Similar to 90198,

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 90198

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Rigel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

This web page has fixed position elements, including backgrounds, and buttons. I
haven't analyzed the source code yet, but I bet the site is using JavaScript
inside of an XHTML document.

It appears as though they have layered more than one page, sort of like putting
a stencil overtop of the background, and putting another stencil overtop of the
foregrond.

The page apperas to display properly in IE 6.0.0.1, however IE eventualy just
freezes up momentarily when you get to the bottom of the page << for comparison
purposes

When using the scroll bars to the right, and the bottom, these behaviors were
not nearly as evident.

Eureaka moment... I just remembered that this same behavior becomes prevelant in
almost all the Java dependant applications I have used. The more elements you
add to the viewing space, the more slowly it scrolls with the scroll button. As
an example with FreeMind. When everything is exanded, and you have hundreds of
nodes on the screen (whether in the viewing space or not) it takes seconds just
scroll a few lines with the scroll button, however using the scroll bars to the
right and below is dramaticaly quicker.

Could this potentialy be a Java RunTime emulation problem versus a core browser
difficulty? JavaScript behaves similar to Java, and so it may be the class of
JavaScript interpereter in FireFox that is slowing down the page.

The page was accessed at: August 21, 2005 3:40:38 PM CST / Saskatchewan.
Firefox did not alert me by visual or auditory indicators in the status bar or
otherwise that the page may have failed to load properly.

If you need updated information I will see what I can do for you.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start FireFox 1.0.6 under Windows XP SP 2
2. Go to http://www.bungie.com
3. Wait for the page to finish loading
4. Scroll inside the content pane with the scroll button (and sigh)

Actual Results:  
The bungie.com page loaded, Paused momentarily and refreshed
Upon attempting to navigate the page, Mozilla Firefox, sluggishly scrolled the
screen, un-evenly mind you. The disparation during the refresh cycle was noticeable.

Expected Results:  
The page should have scrolled the way a normal document or web page would.
Normaly a user will not exceed the actual ability of the computer to keep up
with scrolling. Most people just can't read or track a page that quickly.
