97135 - Mozilla nightly builds fail to render page completely

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[dales]

Starting about a week or so back the Mozilla nightly builds for Mac OS and Mac
OS X have failed to completely render the content of <http://abc.go.com>.  Some
background content fills in but some images and text for almost all the links
does not.  I am currently running Build ID: 2001082408 and it shows the problem.
 
Running Netscape 6.1 the site renders properly.
 
I also run builds on NT 4 and do not recall with confidence whether the problem
is occurrring there.  I'll add more info to this report when I can check the NT
4 situation.  I'll also give some earlier builds that I may have a try to
bracket the point where things went bad.
 
PS:  I did search for a bug to tack this report onto, but had no luck.

WFM using Mac/2001082408. Reporter, does it happen using a new profile?

Further testing results on this problem, leading to a change in Status.

I tried some alternatives to the standard profile that I have been using
persistent from one build to the next.

1.  I duplicated the profile I use with Netscape 6.1 (which does render the
abc.go.com main page correctly.)  Using this duplicate with Mozilla nightly
Build ID: 2001082408, I found the abc.go.com page rendered correctly.

2.  I created an completely new profile using Build 2001082408.  With this
profile, the build rendered abc.go.com correctly.

These results indicate that a problem in the old profile is causing the failure
to render correctly.  I haven't identified the problem.
 
However,, using the new profile, I could not file this bug report due to another
(I believe known) bug that interfers with Bugzilla.  So here I am running the
old profile that doesn't have a problem with Bugzilla.

Changing bug Status to INVALID.
