366827 - Every WSJ link displays with large whitespace at top

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 330575

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[James Rome]

With seamonkey, every wall street journal page (other than the main page) displays with a big gap at the top after it finally finishes loading. Firefox displays it properly with the same adblock plugin. I am using 20070111 SeaMonkey/1.1. This is not new. It has been doing this ever since I started to use SeaMonkey.

Go to www.wsj.com and click on any article link. The page is OK until it loads. At completion, the text moves down, usually off screen.

WFM trunk.  Are all extensions disabled?

No. I have adblock Plus, NoScript, password maker and enigmail. But, I have the same plugins in FireFox and the pages display properly!  See attached pics. (I am now using SeaMonkey on a Mac and see the same thing).

pics are comparing what versions of FF and SM?
please disable ALL addons and retest.

Comment 6

[James Rome]

The very latest releases of each. Just installed this week. I don't know how to disable all plugins without killing my profile. I could post the page source...

pls disable addons, not plugins. 

You don't have to kill a profile to disable addons. 3 choices:

1. start in profile manager and create a new (empty) profile for test purposes.  when done testing just start with your original profile

2. install trunk which has the new addon manager.  tools>addons, then right click and disable each addon, then restart seamonkey. test. reverse the process.

3. seamonkey 1.1.x - install extension [1] which provides manager capability. then start. then tools>addons, right click and disable each addon, then restart seamonkey

[1] going by memory I think the extension is xsidebar at http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/

xsidebar didn't do it, so I downloaded the latest trunk build (2.0a1pre). The addon manager says there are no extensions other than the DOM inspector and SeaMonkey debug. I still see the blank space on the WSJ page.

It displays it correctly, and then it all moves down.

Well, trunk was a good test.  good pick :)

since we both tried trunk and you used a clean profile (but I don't know about your theme) I'm all out of things to try at my end.
here's what you're left with:
* theme
* java
* javascript
* some preference or combination of preferences
* screen related

Could you see that page? I had to subscribe I think. There is no Java in it, but lots of JS.  I had the default theme.
Alas, Enigmail does not work with 2.x, and I need it, so I have to use the old version. It looks very nice.
I see this on my Windows computers too, so I don't think its the screen.

You could try to install NoScript and AdBlock Pro and see if it still works for you.

vaguely like bug 389398 - but the bug is written up as a trunk-only regression

[Josh Birnbaum]

dupe of bug 330575?

[James Rome]

Yes, it is exactly what I see. It has been reported a lot.
