You'll need to be more specific with the steps you took that trigger this behaviour, and the actual problem you saw. Until then, I have no idea what to make of this bug report.

You're still not giving any reproducible steps here.  I don't understand what to do with the video file, and I don't know what behaviour you're seeing versus what you're expecting. Please give step by step instructions.

Firefox 6.02 have the same behaviour. Watch attached video carefully - it contains more than enough information of the issue and lasts only 220 seconds.
