Bumping this to layout since this is most likely a core thing. I can see the same as the reporter in my SeaMonkey trunk build and with a one month old Minefield build (Intel Mac OS 10.5.8). It could be something wrong with the page - with Safari I can just see the first 2 paragraphs under "Historical Performance".

 I might add that this page displays correctly with 2.0.6.

Comment 3

The site uses:

  table > tbody { height: 400px; overflow-y: auto }

But the CSS spec says, for the overflow properties:

  Applies to:
    non-replaced block-level elements, table cells, and inline-block elements 

We used to have a non-standard extension where we made overflow properties do something on table-row-group elements, but we removed it in bug 28800.  This site was relying on it, unfortunately.  They'll have to stop doing that.

Works for me

Has the site stopped using the broken CSS mentioned in comment 3? If so, this should be marked FIXED.

I don't know and don't intend to invest time to check that. But it's most likely the case.

Assuming the file in question was

http://www3.troweprice.com/vc2/retailCommon/css/all-min.css

I can't find that selector anywhere in the file now, so I think it's safe to call this FIXED. Boris, if you meant a different filt in comment 3, please let me know.

JJ, if you aren't willing to put forth a modicum of time in resolving bugs properly, please don't resolve them in the first place.

I have no idea which file was involved at the time; I just looked at the relevant table in DOM inspector and saw that rule applying to the table.
