68559 - page loads seemingly succesfully then content disappears

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 68052

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Peter Williams]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17 i686; en-US; 0.8) Gecko/20010209
BuildID:    2001020908

Some pages, sinfest.net and battlefaeries.com being examples, seem to load
successfully but then all the content except for the background disappears. (For
battlefaeries, you'll need to be a member. And it only happens sometimes. For
sinfest, it happens every time). At least one key accelerator stops responding:
Ctrl-R doesn't reload the page, though the menu item does. Right-click fails to
create a context menu.

Pressing the stop button at the right time can prevent this.

Mozilla reports "Error loading URL http://www.sinfest.net/: 804b0002"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.sinfest.net
2. Watch the page load


Actual Results:  The page disappears, except for the bicolor purple background.
Ctrl-R doesn't reload the page, and right-clicking does nothing.

Expected Results:  I see not only the packground, but the text and the images
too. Ctrl-R reloads the page, and the right-click context menu appears.

The very bottom of the Sinfest HTML source has some weird Javascript code. I
won't paste it here but you can find it by doing a View Source at sinfest.net

This works OK again. Dup of bug 68052 about same URL: "Images and some form
items disappear after load, leaving window unresponsive. [Flycast]"
