URL above opens blog entry with a single, long text column.  Characters disappear after a while (did not check exact limits).  Select-all does not reveal any text.  Page height appears normal, only column contents render incorrectly.

Does not happen in default view (100 responses) or on non-Windows builds (verified on Linux).  Did not check character/line/etc count which starts to trigger problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  On Windows, open http://szakitshabirsz.blog.hu/2008/03/20/nepszeru_katonas_tv_sorozat_fohose?fullcommentlist
2.  scroll down (as of this writing, somewhere around 20% of page)

Actual Results:  
Text disappears after a few dozen pages' down the column.

Expected Results:  
Readable column all the way down.

Page renders fine on Linux.  W3 validator reports dozens of page errors, but Windows and Linux rendering still differs.
Verified with following 3.0b build:

As I have notice, when I use your url (http://szakitshabirsz.blog.hu/2008/03/20/nepszeru_katonas_tv_sorozat_fohose?fullcommentlist)the problem is reproducible, comments on the page look like cut off, but when I clicked at http://szakitshabirsz.blog.hu/ found this post and opened it again, everything work correct for me. As I suppose the problem is connected with query string "?fullcommentlist" in the end of the url. You can try to copy/paste this query string in the end of every post on this blog and the problem is appeared again.
Correct, but if you enter posts first, you'll only see the last 100 responses, as in:

http://szakitshabirsz.blog.hu/2008/03/20/nepszeru_katonas_tv_sorozat_fohose#comments

You'd need to activate "full comment list" ("Szeretném látni az összes kommentet!" link after post), which supplies "?fullcommentlist".  By default, one only sees 100 entries, which displays well even on Windows.
Yes, you are right, I didn't see this link after the post. The problem really exists. I confirmed this in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030317 Firefox/3.0b4
Whiteboard: [DUPEME]
Double-checked with Linux 3.0b4, fails in different way than Windows one; page essentially collapses (Linux 2.0.0.1x was fine).  Trying time-travel backwards to find first breaking version.
I'm seeing also the problem described above on firefox 3.0.1 on windows. It's also happens on this page:

http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/body/list/local_council

The content gets cut off after 'Mole Valley District Council'
At the bottom of the page you eventually get to a footer, which displays fine.

Select-All and Copy shows that the text is all 'there', just not displaying.

I'm only seeing this bug on firefox 3.0.1 on Windows, 3.0.1 on Mac doesn't show this behaviour.
Further information, unconfirmed: based on a rough count of pagedowns on another page showing the same problem, someone claims it hits after around 32'000 (2^15) pixels worth of content.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pl; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4

Same problem here. Occured when working on an bussiness project, so unfortunately i cannot provide real life screenshot / testcase. 

Confirming information from previous post (by T Visegrady):

Firebug testing (DOM tab observation) shows that rendering stops on 33 071px in my page and on 32 811px in http://szakitshabirsz.blog.hu/2008/03/20/nepszeru_katonas_tv_sorozat_fohose?fullcommentlist
Thanks for reporting.
