Build: 2000-10-10-10-MN6
Platform: Mac
Expected result: Page should display it's content (embedded flash object)
What I got: A empty page is displayed. The browser window has activated the
horizontal scroll bars even though no conetent is visible.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Go to http://www.subaru.com/intro.html

2) Page loads but is blank.

3) You must resize the window for content to appear.
From my research, I was able to find which build introduces the problem:
Last build the page works in: (2000-10-05-13-MN6)
The very next branch build, the problem appears:
(2000-10-06-13-MN6 build)
Severity: normal → major

Adding regression keyword

Looking at CVS log of nsObjectFrame.cpp, Vishy checked in a fix on the 5th. 
CC:ing him.
Keywords: regression
My fix to nsObjectFrame.cpp only went into the Shrimp_BRANCH and trunk not the
Netscape_20000922_BRANCH so it could not have caused this bug which appeared in
the 20000922 branch.

Okay, I've found out that this only happens with new profile. That's why I
wasn't seeing it on my builds. Seems to be okay with an old profile.

The markup is pretty simple, so it's strange that this is happening and it used
to work.

qawanted, 4xp, pp. P1 because high profile partner (Flash) and backward 
compatibility (Flash is #2 most important plug-in on the web). We need more 
analysis to produce a simplified testcase to determine whether this is an edge 
case (something strange about that page not common to others) or a single 
instance of a general problem that will affect many pages.

Troy, can MM staff lend a hand with analyzing this?

Works fine for me... Execept for one thing.. If you try to control
click(Right-click) to get the flash controls they don't show up, you only
get the HTML popup... Definitely a universal bug, it happens with all Flash
content, not just this page.
Troy,

The context menu fix has been landed in our "trunk" builds yesterday. If you get 
the latest nightly of Mozilla you should see this fix. 

Also, this problem doesn't show up unless you create a fresh profile. Could you 
try this again with the latest build and create a fresh profile in the Profile 
Manager. 

Thanks.
Ahhh...I'm thinking this could be a cache issue. I went back to the page, saw it
was layed out incorrectly, went to another page, cleared my cache, went back and
it was okay. Tried this on another computer Mac and it worked as well.

We believe this is fixed. Could someone please verify? Marking verifyme.

Using Netscape 6.0 on Windows NT I do not see any problems with the site. Also I
get the Flash menus on right click. Marking WORKSFORME.

I'm still able to reproduce this problem on the latest mac build (12/29). This 
appears to be a MAC only issue.

Steps

1) Create a new profile.

2) Go to http://www.subaru.com/intro.html.

3) Page is empty. 

4) Resize or reload the page.

5) The flash content appears.

This is really weird. I can't reproduce in the debugger. Chris and I tried to 
reproduce locally by adding a <BASE> tag, but then we can't reproduce. I was 
thinking it could be something with the server handing back garbage to the 
plugin, but I watched the HTTP session and nothing obvious.  Happens in Composer 
too. If you resize the window or reload, it displays correctly.

I'm starting a fresh pull and build to see if somehow I can get it to happen in 
the debugger so I can dump the frames. CC:ing some Mac engineers as well.
this is working on the 0108 trunk and 0108 branch for me. I do not see any blank 
content upon initial loading of the page. The movie appears fine.
Flash crasher or backward incompatibility bug. Nominating for nsbeta1 as
high-quality plug-in support is a priority for embedded applications.

I can't reproduce this bug either on my machine. If someone could come up with a 
simplified testcase or specific steps to reproduce, I'd be happy to fix.
I'm marking this WORKSFORME as niether Shrir or me can reproduce.
