Description

[Craig Erdtsieck]

This page shows up correctly on IE, netscape 4.08. It is formated with many
named and unnamed <div> sections.

The right most column has two nav bars and some ads.  The next column to the
right should contain stories similar to the second column from the left.

The first column from the left, shows up great and contains ads.
The next column, shows up ok.
The next column, ends prematurely and is missing many stories.
The next column, is missing and should contain stories like the previous 2 columns
The next column, is missing and should contain 2 nav bars and some ads.

Just for the record-seems to work fine in build 2000-08-28-08 on MacOS 9.  

Source below (please confirm this as the same source before theregister changes 
and we can't verify it later).

Craig, I'm not able to see any problem in loading the above URL. And I'm not 
sure what I'm missing. Could you please attach a reduced case that could 
reproduce this problem easily. Thanx.

I didn't save a copy of the source for that page, doh. I'm contacting
theRegister.co.uk and asking if they have changed the way their page is built or
if they can get me a copy of the code as it would have appeared that morning.
If I can't get that then this bug is uncatchable.  I have viewed the attachment
that was saved, and it does not represent the bug. Also I checked today and all
pages on the site show up properly.  I'll tell you if I get any useful
information from theRegister.co.uk. It's probably one of the "phase of the moon"
bugs.  Oh well.
Thanks

Based on my comment and Craig's previous comment I'm marking this bug WFM for 
now. Let's reopen this bug with a valid test case.

Thanx Craig for the feedback.

Marking WFM

Uh, guys?  Read below:

I thought of that and took the source down.  Its here, along with a note for 
someone to regress it and make sure that the code hadn't changed.  To your credit 
though, it seems to be working in 2000-09-04-08 Mac OS 9.0.4.  Craig, I'll reopen 
for you to take a look at the code so you can check it out.

Did anyone check out www.penny-arcade.com?  Being that I never saw the original 
bug, someone might want to check that out.  Once that possibility is exhausted 
(along with a response from theregister.co.uk that they can't access the code 
that caused the problem, we should close it.
