433375 - Layout breaks when following an anchor link

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 325942

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Protzenko [:protz]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008051009 Minefield/3.0pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008051009 Minefield/3.0pre

When I click on an anchor link, the page layout that was fine suddenly breaks, there are divs all over around and everything is broken, I can't even scroll back up.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the URL above
2. Scroll down towards the end of the page, until you see the table
3. Click the [3] link just before the table (link to a footnote)
Actual Results:  
Page layout is broken.

Expected Results:  
It shouldn't have changed.

All elements are floating : there is a global div, and many divs inside. One is floating left (the menu links at the top), the other ones are floating right. The global div has overflow:hidden;.

This is similar to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345717 but that one is unconfirmed. Plus, I wasn't able to reproduce that bug with the testcase.

This also happens on Firefox 2.

I think this is the same bug as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359575 but I am not sure, hence that new bug report (if this is a duplicate, please mark bug 359575 as confirmed so that someone can take it).
