DESCRIPTION: There are cases where animated images cause repeated reflows after a page has loaded. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: * in a Linux build without the java plugin installed, load http://www.intellicast.com/LocalWeather/World/UnitedStates/Northeast/Massachusetts/Boston/Radar/ (I'm not sure if the null plugin behaves the same way on other platforms) ACTUAL RESULTS: * watch the plugin dialog pop up repeatedly (bug 57455), each time triggered by an additional reflow of the ObjectFrame (I think that's what happened... I tried debugging this a bit a few weeks ago) EXPECTED RESULTS: * shouldn't see plugin dialog pop up repeatedly, because we shouldn't see constant reflows (although this would also be fixed by bug 57455 being fixed) DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON: * Linux, mozilla, my optimized build, 2000-11-20 and for many weeks beforehand
