316238 - layout regression on yahoo TV listings

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 316255

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Henry Goffin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051107 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051107 Firefox/1.5

The given URL renders incorrectly under Firefox 1.5rc2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the given URL (or any lengthy TV listing at Yahoo)
2. Wait for the page to finish loading.
3. Optional - bring up the autoscroll anchor.
Actual Results:  
There are wide gaps between adjacent grid rows.  The gaps disappear and the page renders properly as soon as the autoscroll anchor is triggered.

Expected Results:  
The page is rendered with 1px borders between adjacent grid rows.

The page loads correctly and quickly in IE, and correctly (but very slowly) on Firefox 1.0.7.  This seems like a fairly visible regression, given the popularity of Yahoo.

OK, this is now WFM (reporter) on the 20051112 nightly.

The validation errors are almost exclusively from ampersands in the thousands of generated links to TV shows.  I cannot reproduce Peter's experience on IE5.5 or IE6, which both render the page just fine for me.  But anyway, it's a moot point, the layout issues are fixed in the nightlies.
