Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 132337

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

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

In pages with floated DIVs (or other HTML block elements) that have the style
"overflow:auto" there is a noticable "flicker" or jumping of the blocks while
resizing the page. This happens when viewing the page in the first/only tab.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a page that has 2+ floated DIVs. At least one of the DIVs must have
overflow:auto.
2. Resize the page horizontally or vertically
Actual Results:  
"Flicker" of the floated DIV that has the overflow:auto attribute set. Generally
the DIV further down the page in code will jump to the 1st DIV then pop back to
its intended position.

Expected Results:  
The DIV should remain in its position as I resize the window.

I've seen this bug mentioned a lot in discussion boards but I haven't noticed
any workarounds or quirksmode fixes.

Please test with the latest nightly trunk build.

I believe this bug is fixed, since quite a while now in the trunk builds. Fixed
by the widget change state caching bug.

Please test with at least Deer Park alpha 2 before filing layout bugs. Firefox
1.0.6 uses the gecko 1.7 rendering engine that is over one year old.
