31197 - right-click on link causes poor relayout

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 28553

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[noha]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; N; Win98; en-US) Mozilla/m13
BuildID:    2000022820

M13: Immediately after completely loading the mozilla home page, which displays
properly, I right-click on the first hyperlink in the first news item in the
"Mozilla News" area.  This causes a relayout in which the News area is resized
to be extremely narrow, after which the right-button menu pops up where I
clicked (but it's no longer where the link is).  Further right-clicks on other
links cause a few minor (1-pixel?) relayouts, and after about 3 or 4 all
relayout stops.

Sorry I didn't confirm this in M14, I'll try that later.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open www.mozilla.org	
2.Right-click on a link (I did the first link available under News)
3.Watch bad reflow


Actual Results:  Very poor layout, where news column becomes very tall and thin
and the cells to its right are very wide and short.

Expected Results:  Leave the layout the same

The bug this is a duplicate of has been marked FIXED, and I don't see any
relayout occuring anymore under Win98 (or Linux, which I tested for good
measure). Verifying.
