Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 55334

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010208
BuildID:    2001020804

I created a web page with thumbnails, each thumbnail opens a child window
containing the full size image. The default size for child window is 400 x 400
and the window contains a dummy page called "page.htm". I then , using
javascript, do a window.document.open() and document.write()s in the child
window's document. with the dynamic HTML document composition. The
document.write() HTML contains an <img> tag with a height of 800.. I can see
that the HTML gets rendered to the window and the image appears, but no
scrollbars exist to allow me to move around the image. If I open the child
window and use the image filename as a url rather than a dummy page then the
window opens with scrollbars.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open thumbnail index
2.Click on thumbnail ( child window appears with large image )
3.try to scroll the image

Actual Results:  No scrollbars

Expected Results:  given scrollbars

Yes, it's even called a most-frequent-bug.
