screenshots would be good, since I can't produce this "screwup" you speak of.

reporter: what resolution are you running at, and what other interesting 
settings do you have? [confirming because I can't recall seeing a report like 
this]

[timeless]

sorry, pavlov suggests layout, but i'm puzzled as to how the M logo got stuck 
on the scrollbar

Interested, adding myself to CC list

I could be wrong, but the screwed up pics have the feeling of "low resources" or
something funky in the video driver.  Reporter, I'd be curious what your system
resources are when this happens (right-click My Computer, choose Properties, go
to the Performance tab, and see what it reports for System Resources).  Also,
you wouldn't happen to be overclocking your video card or anything, would you?

Email from reporter:

   I went to view the bug report page. And it just screwed up some how.

Comment 9

[Cody Petry]

I had 60% of my resources free when it happend.

Comment 10

[Warner Young]

More email from reporter:
"Yes well my system resources are above 60% when this happens. I have a rage 
turbo pro integrated graphics card, 4mb."

Hmm, 60% is actually low enough to cause problems sometimes, but it's not 
conclusive.

Comment 11

[Cody Petry]

Attachment: It happend again, 65% resources free. 256mb of ram.

Comment 12

[Warner Young]

Reporter, the amount of actual RAM probably has nothing to do with it, since 
system resources only depends on the GDI and User heaps.  My own experience has 
been that Windows 9x starts getting flakey when resources get down to the 60% to 
65% level, regardless of what application.

Anyway, some other things to try are: lowering your color depth, if you're 
running at 32bit color.  Also try different versions of ATI's drivers for your 
card.  ATI doesn't always produce the best drivers, and sometimes they have 
funky hacks in them to speed things up.  A number of graphics apps, for example, 
have specific workarounds for "special" optimizations in ATI display drivers.

Comment 13

[Cody Petry]

My system has worked flawless with only 6% of its resources free. When windows 
gets low on resources all it does is tell me and it wont let me run any more 
programs until the resources free up. So I dont think thats the problem. I never 
had this problem with any other browser except mozilla. Thats including Netscape 
6.0.

Comment 14

[Cody Petry]

Oh and I am on a 16bit color depth.

Comment 15

[Cody Petry]

Attachment: 67% resources free. Another screwup pic. Another site.

Comment 20

[Manoj]

Build ID 2001062815 M 0.9.2 Displays 39378 when it is a file. This is an error
generated by the DNS server when an unresolvable url is passed to Mozilla.
mozilla does not render the code when it is generated, I cannot figure why?

Temporarily moving to future until a milestone can be assigned. 

Comment 27

[Dan Soper]

I had this exact problem (and also occasionally saw it in IE). It's an ATI
driver problem, fixed by upgrading my graphics driver (download from ATI
website, IIRC), and possibly DirectX too.

Caveat: the newer version of DirectX broke windows, and I couldn't un-install it
(thanks MS!). I fixed that by installing another "new" ATI graphics driver,
which was labelled as experimental.

[karnaze (gone)]

mass reassign to default owner

Comment 29

[earthsound]

Reporter: are you still experiencing this bug? Have you updated your ATI driver(s)? 

Comment 30

[Bernd]

marking as wfm due to a lack of response. Please reopen the bug if the problem
still exists and report if you updated your ATI drivers.
