Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 71974

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:

This abc news web site has text that flows over the picture on first viewing
(not related to bug 78643). Clicking reload does not correct it, but clicking in
the url bar and pressing enter does. 

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.First time page is loaded it demonstrates it
2.Click on URL bar and press enter and it goes away.

I will attach two screenshots; the before and after.

Emptying my caches and loading the page seems to reliably reproduce the problem.

And here is another site that exhibits the same problem:
http://www.ultradns.com/
This time the text in the center column overwrites the left box unless you click
on the url bar and click enter. Then it's correct. This more reliably reproduces
the problem, occurring each time a reload is done.

Seems to be more of a tables problem ->HTML tables

Testing this with a current CVS build, Linux, I no longer see this bug at the
mentioned URL.
Do others still see it ?

Comment 9

[Con Kolivas]

Yes I still see this on the ultradns site http://www.ultradns.com/ (linux build
2001082522), but not on the abc site any more.

Comment 10

[Con Kolivas]

Yes it still occurs on the abc site (linux build 2001082522)

WFM 2001082909 on Win2k (both sites). In the case of http://www.ultradns.com/
, the middle column overwrote the left one at first, but corrected itself as the
page finished loading.

Attachment: Snapshot of the ultradns site with linux build 2001082908. Still happens at abc site too.

Okay, I can see this and have a reproduction steps:

a) open http://abc.net.au/news/
  you'll notice the text of the first line drawn and reflowed
b) shift-reload
  you'll notice the same thing - image takes a bit to load
c) reload
  presto. bug

I got java plugin installer dialogs there but just dismissed them with a cancel.

I want to dupe this bug either against bug 71282 or bug 71974. I'll dupe them
all to the latter, which has a nice testcase - all problems seem to be reflow
problems upon/right after reloading or with slow connections.
