413510 - {inc}pages at thestar.com frequently render improperly with text over images

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

I've been noticing for a while now that pages at http://www.thestar.com will often render incorrectly if the image takes some time to download. The result is that the text doesn't float around the image, but is instead shown on top of it. Reloading or zooming causes it to go away.

Adding a screenshot.

This is potentially a dupe of bug 402642.

DBaron what do you want to do with this one?

Do we know that this is our regression rather than the result of a change in their site?

Taking off the list until we get STR or betting info on this bug

I haven't tried making a reduced testcase yet. However, I sort of suspect this might be related to bug 393490.

For what this is worth I have noticed this issue at the star web page using firefox2. The problem is less frequent and more intermittent then it used to be, but it occurred again today using the latest minefield nightly.

I suspect this can be marked as fixed, or duplicate of fixed bug?
