This bug appeared early in 3.6 and is still a problem in 3.6.11.  It also appears on Red Hat Linux and Microsoft Windows computers.

The alert dialog in called from a javascript function named "Loaded" at the bottom of the page.  The body statement contains onload='javascript:Loaded();'

Sometimes the alert dialog does not complete painting, The box, frame and X in the upper right are there.  The message and the Okay button are missing.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start new browser session
2.If it works okay, then I don't know how to reproduce unless
3.Try on other computers, OS etc. 
Actual Results:  
Sometimes the alert dialog does not contain the message or the Okay button.

Expected Results:  
alert dialog should display a message and an Okay button.

I can't reproduce on 3.6. Is there anything in the error console?

There is nothing in the error console.  Sometimes it is hard to reproduce, other times it happens easily.  I will attach a PNG image of the messed up alert dialog.

This happens to me also, but only with alerts launched at onload event or inline javascript execution.
I tried it with Debian 6 and Ubuntu 10.10 whith different 3.6.x Firefox versions.

I observed that if i save the page that produces de error into my computer as static one, then it works ok. The problem comes only when i get the page throw the server with the computation phase (not static one). E.x. With a logon failure.
