58983 - Column "dividers" bleed beyond Mozilla window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[Jeff Robinson]

This bug shows up when viewing certain table-based sites (such as 
http://www.slashdot.org ) I experience a 'bleed-over' of the column divisions 
from the main Mozilla window.

When the browser is windowed on the screen I get bright blue lines with the 
same spacing as the column edges on-screen that will draw across any other 
programs and the desktop (including any Mozilla widgets except for the main 
HTML window itself).  These lines have the same spacing as the table onscreen, 
but the appear aligned with the bottom-left of the screen and drawing across.

I'm uncertain whether this happens on other platforms or not.
Mozilla nightly build 10/20/00
Running OS/4 v4, fixpack 14 on an AMD K6/2-300 with 192megs.  ATI video card 
with OEM drivers.  This problem did seem to exist on earlier fixpacks as well.

Can you give us more specific information about your video card, video chipset, 
and driver level?  We aren't seeing this problem, and suspect it is 
driver-specific (though it may be something we are doing in the browser that is 
causing the driver to exhibit this problem).

The video card is an ATI 3D Xpression+PC2TV with 4 megs of RAM (oh, it was a 
mighty fine card in its day!).  I believe it uses the mach64 chipset, using the 
drivers supplied by ATI (version 3.0).

I would have no trouble believing that perhaps this video card is to blame, as 
I have trouble running it with either GRADD drivers (terminally slow DOS 
windows) or even version 3.1 of the drivers supplied on ATI's website.  It's 
just sort've wacky, so figured I'd bring it up.
