Details

Go to the URL above. Wait for the whole page to download. Then scroll to the end of the page with the mouse or continuously pressing page down. The message boxes in the end of the page are overwritten with garbage text. If you click on the boxes, the garbage text disappears. After this the bug doesn't show up until you enter another (or the same) long thread at the same site. If the URL doesn't exist, go to http://www.open-net.fi/cgi-bin/varikkoengine.pl and select any other long thread. The amount of comments are under "Lkm". Pick another one with 100-200 comments.

I can't reproduce the problem with today's build
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
I took Build ID 1999121408 (Dec 14th) for Win32. Deleted the old one including Users50 and mozregistry. Unfortunately the bug is still there. Here's how I can reproduce it: - Start Mozilla - Hide the sidebar - Go to http://www.open-net.fi/cgi-bin/varikkoengine.pl?2001762&164 - Wait patiently for the page to fully download - Scroll the page all the way down by dragging the scrollbar There should be four text boxes: Three first ones small and one big one. Resizing the window or clicking on the text boxes fixes the problem.

I have no idea what this problem is, but it does seem specific to edit fields

This bug has changed now. Garbage text doesn't overwrite edit boxes in long threads at the discussion forum mentioned above. Instead the edit box is suddenly drawn in the middle of the page over text. If you click on this ghost, you're sent to the end of the page and the ghost box disappears. I saw this at least in one thread which had more than 400 messages. Short ones work ok.

I can't reproduce this problem. When I load the URL, I get a short page that is: [image] [banner ad] Varikko-Chatti Paluu pääsivulle (a link) Keskusteluaihe: ------------------ Laadi kommentti: Kirjoittajan nimi: [text control] Sähköpostiosoite: [text control] Salasana: [text control] [ big text area] This all looks fine. I don't see any notion of threads, or how to get to a long one that presumably doesn't work. For now, I'm marking this bug WorksForMe. If you find a testcase that breaks, please re-open the bug, include the URL, and if possible attach the HTML source of the page to this bug as a test case. Thanks.

Summary: Garbage text overwriting text boxes → Ghost text boxes appearing elsewhere on a long page
Here's how to reproduce with mozilla-win32-installer.exe from Apr 5th: 1. Start mozilla 2. Hide the sidebar 3. Go to URL: http://www.sportti.com/cgi-bin/varikkoengine.pl?2001444&625 It's a long one so let it download it totally 4. Scroll down about 1/3 of the page and you'll see a white area overlapping the message. Click on the white area and you're sent to the end of the page where you see that those are ghosts from the textboxes in the end of the page. You can reproduce the bug with any really long page on this site. Grab the HTML to a file for debugging as it's way too long to be attached here. I also changed the URL and summary as garbage text is not the problem any more.
this had to do with heavyweight webshells used to render text controls. with ender lite widgets, this won't be an issue.

this seems fixed now with ender-lite turned on.

this is verified. this code no longer uses the old way. this is working and the overlapping no longer occurs.
