The URL points to a page made of 2 frames, both containing Flash as main content.
The left frame is shown correctly. To see the right side, you have to click in any part of the frame.
If you load the URL of the right frame in a new window, clicking will not be necessary and you'll see the content right away.

Reproducible: Always

This happens on trunk builds, too.

Bug 335974?

I can alternately reproduce no Flash being drawn, the left frame being drawn but not the right, the right being drawn but not the left (mousing over the clickable items will show them), and the whole page being drawn :p

I thing Bug 335974 is about repainting, while here no painting happens at all.
Anyway, I tried to install the latest official Flash player release and the Flash beta that seems to solve that bug and results were the same as before. Confirming what Smokey says: not painting might involve both frames of the sample URL, alternatively or at the same time.

Moreover: if I open another tab, after loading the affected URL, and then go back to the tab with the flash frames, I see them painted in full.

I can reproduce that on the most recent Minefield build.
And confirming Marcello's observation about switching tabs. I first open the url in a background tab and it was painted correctly.

Still happens with the latest Flash beta and latest-trunk.

I'm going to hold off confirming this until someone tests it in Firefox to see whether it might be a Core bug.

Not happening in the latest released Firefox/Mac. I also emptied the cache e relaunched, but the site always loads fine without leaving out content.

It failed in Minefield, see comment 4.
And it still fails in both Camino-trunk and Minefield up-to-date. Flash latest beta release.

(and if you move a window in front of the one with the flash, then the whole thing paints correctly).

Gonna kick this to Core:Plugins then.
