61040 - VNC (Java) sessions don't show the full screen in Mozilla

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect, P3)

Description

[WD]

I use VNC for remote access of my computer.
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/

It's a java application which allows pcAnywhere-esque remote control
capabilities through any Java enabled browser.

If the computer being remotely controlled has a screen resolution higher than
the one you are on, the browser will show scrollbars where the screen can be
scrolled to see the whole thing.

With Mozilla, when the screen is scrolled, whatever area was off the screen
shows up as gray.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Connect to a computer running VNC   (e.g.  http://hostname:5800 )
2.  Scroll the "page" vertically or horizontally

Expected Results:
The area is drawn so that whatever was offscreen is now viewable

Actual Results:
The area which was offscreen is gray.

This happens every time.

In the above picture, I started a VNC session, and then scrolled it to the right
horizontally.      Where there is a gray area on the left side of the browser,
the area should have re-drawn what's there on the remote PC
