On my site here : www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/codeexample.htm , four text fields are
displayed. However on first loading the site, only two or one are actually
drawn, the others don't show up at all. When the user then presses Refresh, all
the text fields are shown correctly, or it shows even less! The page is fully
XHTML 1.1 compliant.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a fresh tab or window.
2. Visit www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk
3. Refresh a few times until problem is reproduced. Usually happens on first
load or first refresh.

Actual Results:  
FireFox only drew a few of the four text fields, instead of all four fields.

Expected Results:  
It should be drawing all four text fields, consistently.

Default theme.

Strange. I've tested this on a few machines with clean installs of the latest
release build, and upon refreshing or deep-refreshing the codeexample.htm, the
bug is reproduced. I just tried it again, and it took 15 refreshes on a clean
install on my laptop.

Have you tried with a recent nightly?  If so, was it trunk or branch?

Just performed fresh win32 install of:

/nightly/2005-08-21-08-trunk/

Labelled Deer Park Alpha Two, and problem does not occur.

Is there a workaround I can use until the code in this build is released? Also,
is there an ETA on this release?

Thanks for your help.

At present, the ETA of FF1.5 (which is code-named Dear Park) is sometime in
November (see http://www.mozillazine.org for discussion).

As you don't see this is a recent nightly, I'll mark WFM.  As for a "work
around", I can only suggest using a nightly (unless you want to compile your own
build :-) ) I'm not sure what bug this actually is - hopefully someone more
knowledgable might provide a clue as to a change to your html.
