From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) BuildID: 20000717 when first loaded, page asserts 6 times, then stops with only brown background showing. If reload button is pressed, it sometimes asserts again, but always eventually crashes without warning. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load web page 2. Wait till brown background shows 3. Press reload button 4. Watch mozilla crash hard. Actual Results: Mozilla crashes Expected Results: mozilla reloads the page and displays it. This assertion appears six times when page first loaded ###!!! ASSERTION: containing block height must be constrained: 'containingBlockHeight != NS_AUTOHEIGHT', file c:\download\cvs\mozilla\layout\html\base\src\nsHTMLReflowState.cpp, line 859
Confirmed also seeing on Windows 95, by me and Windows 2000 by walk94 and benjy on RedHat 6.2 on IRC.

i've also noticed a crash occurs the second time a page is loaded lately. That is with preferences/advanced/cache set to compare page in cache once per session. If i change this to "every time" i don't crash. Linux 2000.071720
Adding crash keyword
Keywords: crash
The assertions are caused by the page having a <table> inside a <span> If you take out the <span> </span> code, it doesn't assert, and doesn't crash on reload. Someone might want to file another bug concerning the reload crash.
The problem looks simply like a relatively positioned inline after an absolutely positioned inline or block... I have narrowed down a testcase to the following (will attach as well): <html> <head> <title>BrainJar.com</title> <style type="text/css"> .rel { position: relative; } .abs { position: absolute; } </style> </head> <body> <span class="abs"> Text here... </span> <span class="rel"> Someting Here... </span> </body> </html> This test gives the assertion and the crash (the absolutely positioned element can be a SPAN or a DIV or a P, same result). It looks like a layout problem, sending to buster, who is out for several weeks. If escalated I will try to find another resource.

*** Bug 45742 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
this bug seems to have improved. doesn't crash me anymore on linux 2000-071910
After looking over some of buster's other bugs I found one that is exactly the same - it even has a nice simple testcase already - Yippee! Marking a dup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 42372 ***
