Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Description

[Paul]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910

comes and goes - right now I have 2 browsers open with multiple tabs - both have a weather.com page open and one looks good and the other is all expanded...
The page format seems to get's lost, the dropdowns & listbox(s) are all expanded (dropdown list is not compresed into the box),  (scrolled listbox data not concealed within box)
I have opened new browsers both before and after a re-boot and sometimes the new browser will look OK, other times (more often than not) it will retain the 'expanded' look - - - I just ignore it
Then 2, 3, 4 browsers later all is back to normal for a while?????

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Actual Results pane = page source of good page
2.Expected Results pane = page source of bad "expanded" page
3.
Actual Results:  
Page Source of another tab in this browser - looks OK:

TOO Big 65K max - I got cut off...


Expected Results:  
Page Source of another tab in a different browser that is all "expanded":

TOO Big - same as above...

I entered my zip code 77095 on the home page, then on the zip code page I used the MyNeighborhood tab to select Local Schools, then CyFalls .  Error comes and goes.  If you get to happen try to hover over the expanded list on the top left of the screen and portions dissapear - takes a page re-load to get them back and so far they have always come back expanded.  Is this just me?

FYI, Mozilla 1.7.3 isn't really worked on anymore...

Please note that you're using a build that's well over 2 years old
and you should be aware that by using a build that old you are
exposed to many of the vulnerabilities listed here:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html

In the interest of your own security, I would recommend upgrading to the
latest release of Firefox or SeaMonkey which you can find here:
