Looks like a dup

But but but... this wasn't a dup at all and the problem still happens (on
Windows, not on Mac, as mentioned in the description).

Reopening.

Clearing resolution.

Bugs #7773 and #7990 have been closed as duplicate of #7679 a bit lightly: these
3 bugs have nothing to do with each other.

#7679 is a difficult to reproduce Mac-specific problem where a window stops
redrawing. #7773 is a very easy to reproduce Windows-NT problem where a page
needs a resize to appear. #7990 is a more or less cross-platform problem that
describes various problems with the Prefs dialog.

Note to self. This problem has existed since early milestones.  It is still a
complete unknown. No idea why it's happening.

Comment 9

[David Hyatt]

Got it. An extra repaint at the end document load did the trick.

Okay the page now appears in WinNT 1999073011 - unfortunately, it doesn't render
correctly!

David, could you take another look at the page and see what you think?

Comment 11

[David Hyatt]

It's correct.  The XUL file never got updated following syntax changes in M8,
but it is actually rendering correctly given the way it's now interpreted.

Comment 12

[ckritzer (gone)]

Okay the page appears now, but no scroll bar appears (and there is definitely
more things running off the page that should cause the page to show a scroll
bar).
Checked on builds:
1999082412 WinNT (can see most of the second set of push buttons)
1999082409 MacOS (can see everything when I change screen resolution from
832x624 to 1024x768)
1999082408 Linux6 (can only see as far down as the 3 checkboxes)

So, this bug appears to be fixed, but there's another one regarding no scroll
bars in a xul doc.
