997 - Nondeterministic layout

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MozillaClassic Graveyard :: Layout, defect, P2)

Description

[tor]

(This is based on observations from a Solaris/sun4u/native-compiler
build from a 10/1 CVS pull)

The layout engine is behaving nondeterministically.  Two examples:

	http://www.news.com/

		Load the page and hit "reload" a number of times.  Sometimes
		the layout will be correct, but often table cells will be
		much too large vertically (as in orders of magnitude wrong).

	http://www.xfree86.org/

		Again, load the page and try repeated reloading.  Fairly
		often the page will be laid out so that the title graphic
		is overlapping the introduction text.

Old code base. No problems seen with NGLayout.
