This site uses WMP and is probably a dupe of our WMP bug(s).

Bug 272699 and its dupes generally involve scrolling (except it's not clear in
bug 272699 comment 24 that there was scrolling).  Is scrolling involved here?

I quickly looked if I could find a bug concerning the fact that in many cases
WMP content causes webpage layout to have serious issues. This doesn't even need
scrolling or anything. 

I might note that other animated objects can help to cause the issues. So I'm
turning this bug into the BIG WMP SUCKS and has issues bug.

Oops, sorry for the bugspam.  This should be either Plugins or Page Layout, not
Forms....

WMP content is becoming so common (e.g. myspace) that I think we should take a look at this.

Bug 288511 might have an impact. See also bug 283120, bug 285550.

"If you haven't yet, I suggest posting to the WMP for Mac newsgroup.  It's <news://microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player.mac/>.  The MS public newsgroups are generally monitored by Microsoft employees who work on the product."
