On build 2000122321 this page as not readable. The page is reloaded over and over again (or rather re-rendered) with the effect that the page is flashing. It also seems like it is re-rendering faster if I move the mouse around. If I don't do that I can see the page in 2 seconds and then it re-renders for a second and I can read yet another 2 seconds. If I move the mouse around it goes faster. Two weeks ago this page was displayed perfectly. So it's something that have happend the list weeks. I don't know what component to select for this bug but I guess that it has something to do with layout.
Worksforme buildid 2000122204 win32.
Page views fine for me on Win2000 built a few min ago.
WFM 2000121514 linux
and now with 2000122208 linux, the left frame is constant, but the rest of the page redraws over and over. confirming bug

Linux-only bug then? Still worksforme build 2000122320 win95. Anyone on mac can reproduce?
i see the same thing on linux sea 2000122406. If you maximize the window at 1280x1024 while loading the page, it's must easyer to see what this bug is really about. Also: after loading; if you scroll the offending area out of sight and then scroll up again - in effect re-rendering it - the blinking stops. A similar add further down the page has a similar problem, but the blinking there is only local, to the left of the image.
Here is another example where the pictures and menu on the right hand side is beening re-layouted every now and then. Here it is not re-rendered but the animations moves around instead. Forst it looks well aligned and then the right hand side is moved upp and 5 centimeters to the right. Then a couple of seconds later it moves back... http://www.gp.se/nyheterna/ This is a newspaper so it changes every now ant then. But the right hand side menu is always there so it probably be like this in the future too.

looks like a linux only bug. I just tried it with the versions from the 9th of january 2001, and the windows version worked fine, while the linux version shows the problems mentioned in this bug!
I just tried several older nightlies. It was not in the linux build of 2000121904, but it is in the linux build 2000121921. So the bug was introduced between these 2 builds. Is someone able to find the guilty piece of code??
I'm innocent! (all code I checked in was directly backed out) ;-) Anyway, adding mscott too as he did redirect changes in the uriloader at 14:07. That's a part of the browser that I think may very well cause things like this even though I don't have a clue how. That was checked in as a fix to bug 59827.
this bug is fixed in the 2001011221 build :-) Since I am probably not intended to mark it so, can someone from QA please do this?
Can anyone confirm plz. We should still find which checkin caused this regression.
fabian: it was probably karnaze's checkin, who also fixed this bug :-) for me both pages (tomshardware and gp.se) do work fine, but since I wrote the message some above, please ask someone else (tuesdays bugday?) to confirm :-)
used to see this bug but on Linux build 2001011306 tomshardware again loads fine, and remains so after loading. No more blinking pages. It's fixed, whatever fixed it.
Marking fixed, probably by Karnaze's checkin.
