74208 - Mozilla fails to render the page properly after the DOM has been updated.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: GFX, defect)

Description

[Sarwat Khan]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.8.1) Gecko/20010323
BuildID:    2001032319

I have javascript code that toggles the visibility of table rows. When rows are
made visible, Mozilla doesn't always update the whole page to reflect the
additional rows. As such, things get overwritten and some things don't get erased.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to the url. In the table for the second bug report,

1. Click 'two'.
2. Click 'child of two!!' (the second one)
3. Click 'child of two'

This always causes a problem, but sometimes the problems appear earlier.

Actual Results:  You'll see the last row not erased, while the paragraph of text
below it overwrites it (the row that was not erased). You'll notice some other
table rows did not get erased or updated properly.

Expected Results:  If you edit the javascript to use "block" instead of
"table-row" when setting the CSS style, try it out in IE 5.

Basically it should draw cleanly.

If the images cannot be found, it does some extra rendering steps and tends to
fix itself a bit.

If you resize the window to cause a refresh, the table looks correct.

Try to compare the difference between the table at the bottom of the page and
the one in the middle. It still draws wrong but the difference in what it screws
up may be useful.
