53960 - Page update for part of the page looks messy

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 27233

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Martin Piper]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20000923
BuildID:    2000092308

Go to:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi
Where you see the options for:
"Program: Version: Component: Target Milestone:"
Choose 'browser' then 'calendar'. The table update takes an unacceptable amount
of time and also looks messy as the elements resize themselves horizontally lots
of times producing a nasty flickering effect.
This does not do this when running Internet Explorer 5 as the table elements
remain the same size until right at the end of the width calculations. However
even this does take a while reformatting the table but is quicker than Mozilla
by about a factor of two.


							

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi
Where you see the options for:
"Program: Version: Component: Target Milestone:"
Choose 'browser' then 'calendar'.							

Actual Results:  An unacceptable amount of time for the reformat of the table
and also an unsightly flickering effect.							

Expected Results:  A quick and 'clean' update of the table.

Also tried this on build 2000092505 on a Pentium 200MMX running the first 
commercial version of Windows 95 without service packs.
The messy table layout flickering problem and slow calculation speed are even 
more apparent on this machine.
Actually this machine is the most stable one in the office for some unknown 
reason. :)
