Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

When I load the specified page the flash animation appears in the middle of the
text and where is supposed to be too. It appears to be moving very fast between
the two locations, it flickers a lot and looks really buggy. After a while the
flickering and dual-location problem stops and the flash animation displays
right. This happens for me in 80% of the cases, I suspect that it only happens
when a new flash move is used (non cached) but I have not been able to trigger
it 100% using proper reloading (shift-ctrl-R). But it happens a lot so reprod
should not be a problem if you're doing it right.

Reproducible: Sometimes

I think it worked for me in previous versions of Seamonkey too, up to say maybe
1.7.8 or something like that. Not 100% sure when it broke though.
