I have a DHTML program that I've been working on and I found this. If I replace
the first child in a <div> with a text node then the div doesn't refresh until I
resize the browser window.
lev = document.getElementById("score");
lev.replaceChild(document.createTextNode("score: " + score), lev.firstChild);

I need a complete test case for this. Otherwise I can't be sure we're fixing
the problem you describe
In particular, what is the first element that is getting replaced: text, an
image, ...
Are you replacing the child in the onload handler or in response to an event?

The div has text in it which looks like this
<div id="score">Score: 0</div>
The function is called via a setTimeout('myFunction', 30); If the score needs
to be changed this div's text is replaced. So, no its not updated by an event.
Can you give me a simple test case that demonstrates the problem? It sure will
make it easier to reproduce and verify that it is fixed

Here is the minimal test case. The div fails to refresh when its position is
set to absolute.
<html>
<head>
<style>
#test {position: absolute; top: 30px; left: 0px;}
</style>
<script>
var counter=0;
function UpdateDiv() {
counter++;
lev = document.getElementById("test");
lev.replaceChild(document.createTextNode("Update: " + counter),
lev.firstChild);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a onClick="UpdateDiv();">Click here</a>
<div id="test">
-1
</div>
</body>
</html>
I'm glad you gave me a test case, because the test case shows that the DIV is
absolutely positioned. That's now what I would have done to try and reproduce
the problem
Does the problem only happen if the DIV is absolutely positioned?

from what I can tell. I tried it set to relative and without a style and it
didn't show up. In the origional case when it happened, it was positioned
absolutly as well. I'm not sure if its the only case but its the only case I
have found.
Fixed. There was a problem with reflow commands being coalesced across child
lists

This is not fixed! The score in the upper left corner is still not showing up.
The level does, but the score doesn't. Both use replaceChild();

Uh, no where in the bug report until just now does it mention
http://www.iprimus.ca/~brent/tech/beam/
You supplied a minimal test case, and I fixed it so the minimal test case works.

With the May 22 build, both score and level are both appearing in the window.
