358904 - Only left 3/8 inch of page loads a high percentage of the time

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 358017

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Laurie A. Bunten]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

As above, especially when going to a link on a page, but also at times on initial access to a site.  There seems to be no particular action that invokes the error.  It just happens randomly, as far as I can see.  Had no problems with the previous version of Firefox.  I am running Mac OS 10.4 on an i-mac (non-intel).

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log onto a site - page sometimes doesn't load completely
2. Link from one page to another - page sometimes doesn't load completely
3.

Actual Results:  
Only about 3/8 inch of page shows at the left of the window.

Expected Results:  
Full page display

Irritating.  Took some time before I could log onto firefox/bugzilla and get a page to which I could make a report. Using standard apple window/theme

Do you use the Tabbrowser Preferences extension ? In bug 358017 it was found to cause a similar effect.

I have found that the cause of the bug is the Tabbrowser extension.  When there are a bunch of tabes, more that fit on the visible screen, the displaying of content seems to break down.  Without the Tabbrowser extension, it's fine.

I've gone back to Firefox 1.5.0.7.  No problems there. (L.A.Bunten)

So can we close this bug then?
