Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060808 SeaMonkey/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060808 SeaMonkey/1.0.4

Some javascript effects seem to fail.  The only place I've been able to reproduce this is using the jquery library but I haven't looks for other examples.  I've attached one example that seems to show the problem clearly but there are others.    http://jquery.com the run button demo doesn't work properly and http://www.visualjquery.com/ has all sorts of problems.

I've also had quite a few people test this in the gentoo irc channels and everyone seemed to have the same problem.  It seems to be only people who have compiled 64bit versions that can reproduce this though.

I've moved this here at the sugestion of the new gentoo-moz head.  My original gentoo bug post http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137321 which has useful information like cflags however I have since removed ccache.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.visit linked website
2.click on tabs in slide effect of fade effect areas

Actual Results:  
tabs don't do anything or start to change and halt

Expected Results:  
Tabs should slide of fade into view

What Firefox version did you test this with?

Comment 2

[James Gilliland]

Current version I tested it on is
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060807 Firefox/1.5.0.6

I think I noticed the problem on 1.5.0.4 or 3 and I had someone that confirmed it existed in one of the alphas(though I haven't built it personally).  I can rebuild and test any of the older versions if it would help.

I have found the same issue, when using 1.5.0.4 on debian 64bit. It does not have any problems on a 32bit firefox on another machine. 

It does it to me every time. The only way that I can get to the hidden divs are to open another hidden window. 

I found this bug by following this link http://drupal.org/node/81863

The tabs at http://stilbuero.de/jquery/tabs/ seem to work fine for me, but I am having the same problem with opening hidden divs that Stephen reports. I will post a (non-simplified) testcase.

I can confirm that this problem occurs for me on:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.5) Gecko/20060731 Ubuntu/dapper-security Firefox/1.5.0.5
- and that it _doesn't_ occur on a 32bit Firefox running on the same computer.

However I can also confirm that this looks like it is fixed in the latest 1.8 trunk built for AMD64.
If someone else could also confirm this then I think we can mark this as fixed.

Attachment: Testcase for javascript issues on AMD64

To test this, click on the collapsable fieldsets at the bottom of the page. The first one should open fine, but after that they will not open fully, or they will open the 'previous' fieldset.
There is a clip showing the bug at: http://drupal.org/node/81863

Can anyone confirm if fault still exists with recent Firefox versions.

Comment 7

[James Gilliland]

No, both the test case and the current site worked fine in a build of Firefox 3.6 I just made. Looks like its probably been fixed. Not marking resolved since I'm not sure the proper state.
